In January of 1834, Stephen F. Austin was arrested by Mexican authorities in Saltillo, Mexico, because he was planning an uprising.

Option A

Explanation:

Stephen F. Austin, regarded in today's date as the father of Texas, had initially convinced 300 families to move to Texas and inhabit the region. The Mexican government bestowed him with the title of Empresario for successfully bringing 300 families to Texas.

But after a few clashes with the Mexican government, he decided to turn the same people that he had convinced to settle in Texas against the government of Mexico. This was devised by the Mexican government and Stephen Austin was arrested and imprisoned.
