It refers to the usage that people gave to envy and ignorance, which are vices of the human being. While we know the little education of the Voltaire era, we know that a very high percentage of the population lived in complete ignorance and even the educated did not have values ​​instilled as justice, which allowed them to see for others before falling into the envy. It means that ignorance is followed by envy, and these causes social injustice.

The correct answer is D, that to encourage people to take action against widespread corruption

The "Muckrakers" were crusading journalists, authors and photographers who published their work in order to raise awareness on social issues and injustice. Other muckrakers highlighted the deficiencies in the political system. Their newspapers, articles and photographs led to the formation of influence groups sparking a series of reforms during the Progressive Era (1890 - 1920). Raising awareness of social injustice, corruption and inequality and the abuse of political power was their main goal in order to bring about the reform.
