Transcendentalists didn't like slavery and were against it for the most part. I'd say the answer is D. Many transcendentalist authors wrote of a world without slavery and urged people to change their mindsets.

The answer is D. That it was wrong and they had an obligation to change it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the leaders of the Transcendentalist movement, felt that slavery was directly against individualism, and that each person should value their own opinions, values, and morals. This view of slavery encouraged the people in the movement to change how society viewed and used slavery.
