D. He wrote under a false name.

Explanation:

Franklin's bother, James, started the newspaper The New England Courant when Franklin was only 15. Ben knew that his being so young and working as an apprentice would prevent his brother from allowing him to publish in the newspaper. Thus, to overcome that, he began to write under a pseudonym (a false name): Silence Dogood. Not only were his writings published, but they were also a huge success.
