The best option is letter C) the freedom of expression.
Explanation:
Romanticism, an artistic movement that began in the late 1700's, was all about freedom. Artists sought to be free from norms. They valued their own feelings and wished to express them without fear or constraints. As a matter of fact, the Romantic movement appealed greatly to revolutionary ideals in America due to the very idea of freedom. Romantic writers and painters were not afraid of criticism, often expressing joy or rapture because of a woman's or nature's beauty. They rejected rationalism and religious intellect, which would most likely restrain their expressions.
Romantic writers were all about "the freedom of expression". Primarily because the previous era that preceded romanticism is classicism, where freedom was practically forbidden, and where rules needed to be followed strictly. However, romanticism tries to deny rules, and fights for the freedom of expression.
