Olaudah Equiano was a formerly enslaved man who wrote a powerful narrative about his experiences and campaigned against slavery in Britain. Both focused their efforts in Great Britain. Option B is about the Haitian Revolution which isn't their main contribution. Option C is about violent rebellions in the US (not their actions).
