B) psycho-social
C) social
D) linguistic

Accepted Answer

The movement to abolish slavery was a social movement aimed at ending the practice of owning and exploiting human beings as property. It involved grassroots activism, political lobbying, and social mobilization to bring about legal and cultural change. While there may have been physiological or psycho-social aspects to the experiences of enslaved people and their oppressors, the abolitionist movement was primarily concerned with addressing the social injustice of slavery. Linguistic movements relate to language and its use, and do not apply in this context.
