b. he removes his handicaps.

c. he starts a riot against the government.

d. he kills a police officer.

Explanation:

In Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," the government enforces equality via handicaps. Harrison escapes prison, removes his own handicaps (and those of a ballerina), defying the government’s core control mechanism, which angers them. The other options are not events from the story.

Answer:

B. He removes his handicaps.
