Answer:

<em>d. this is a call to revolution</em>

Explanation:

Henry is calling for a revolution. By stating "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, at to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" he points out that the fear of dying and the fear of war is not worth trading ones freedom, but rather one should choose freedom over a bandaged living and state of peace.
