Explanation:

To determine how John Brown funded his abolitionist activities, we analyze each option:

• Option a: John Brown was not a successful businessman using his own wealth for this; his financial situation was different.
• Option b: There's no evidence he funded activities by robbing slaveowners in the way this implies.
• Option c: John Brown was funded by a group of wealthy anti - slavery activists known as the "Secret Six" (including figures like Gerrit Smith, Franklin Sanborn, etc.). This aligns with historical records.
• Option d: His second wife did not fund his major abolitionist activities like the Harpers Ferry raid.

Answer:

c. He was funded by a wealthy group of anti - slavery activists known as the "Secret Six".
