Thoreau's essay emphasizes individual action against injustice. He argues citizens shouldn't passively accept unjust laws. Option D aligns with his call for active resistance. Option A is contrary as he questions blind obedience. Option B has no basis in the essay. Option C is not the core argument; the focus is on citizen - level resistance, not government - level cost - benefit of law enforcement.
