a) he believes in justice and equality
b) he wants to become famous
c) he feels pity for tom
d) he is forced to defend him by the court

Explanation:

In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Atticus Finch is a character who upholds moral values of justice and equality. Option B is incorrect as he has no desire for fame. Option C is not the main reason as his motivation is more about principle than pity. Option D is wrong because he takes the case out of his belief in justice, not being forced. So the main reason is his belief in justice and equality.

Answer:

A) He believes in justice and equality
