the constitution.
personal choice.
evolutionary theory.

Explanation:

The Scopes Trial (also known as the Scopes Monkey Trial) was a legal case in 1925. John Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited teaching human evolution in Tennessee schools. William Jennings Bryan was a prominent prosecutor in the trial. He represented the side that supported the Butler Act (based on a religious - literalist view of the Bible, especially the Book of Genesis). The theory of evolution (scientific, non - religious explanation of the development of species) was the opposing concept. So Bryan pitted religion (the literalist interpretation used to support the Butler Act) against evolutionary theory.

Answer:

D. evolutionary theory.
