The correct answer is C. During the Scopes Trial, Clarence Darrow argued that science had refuted religious claims about the origin of humanity.

Explanation:

In 1925, Darrow defended John Thomas Scopes in the still famous Monkey Trial. Scopes was judged for teaching the theory of the evolution of species in a state school in Tennessee. The charge was "to teach a theory that denies the history of the Divine Creation of man as set forth in the Bible, teaching instead that man descends from a low order of animals."

The accuser and main witness was the fundamentalist William Jennings Bryan. When Darrow interrogated him, Bryan had to accept that the biblical account of creation could not be interpreted in six days as if it were 24-hour days but as six indeterminate periods of time. Darrow demonstrated to public opinion the delusion of a literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to teach scientific theories in schools. Although the judge sentenced Scopes to pay a $ 100 fine, the trial immensely discredited Bryan and fundamentalism and was a triumph for Scopes as a teacher.
