I'm assuming your excerpt is this: "He has made her, morally, an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master—the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement."

The correct answer is B. Stanton uses words with negative connotations to emphasize the persecution of women. There are numerous words with negative connotations: "irresponsible", "being", "crimes", "impunity", "obedience", "master", "power", "deprive", "chastisement". Those words emphasize all the oppression that women suffer, being unable to resist not because they are weak, but because the laws and customs are against them.
