C) felt every individual should balance societies expectations with ones one instincts.

Answer:

B) argued Americans had a moral right to disobey laws of the United States

Explanation:

Thoreau first introduced his viewpoint in his novel, Civil Disobedience. He states that the government only gets it's power from the majority, not because it's always right. He follows this up by saying that since the government is not always right, the people should follow their own morals instead of the government's laws. Hope this helps!
