D?
I think you're right.
Yes, you are correct. Factor D, the disapproval of the religious revivals popular during the Second Great Awakening, influenced the development of Transcendentalism.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze each option and eliminate the ones that do not relate to Transcendentalism:
A) Disapproval of slavery and Indian reservations, while significant social issues, do not directly relate to the development of Transcendentalism.
B) The acceptance of temperance by a majority of Americans is also unrelated to the development of Transcendentalism.
C) The establishment of large, prestigious universities in New England may have contributed to intellectual growth in the region but does not specifically pertain to Transcendentalism.
Thus, we are left with option D, which directly aligns with the development of Transcendentalism. The disapproval of the religious revivals popular during the Second Great Awakening was a key factor that prompted individuals to seek alternative spiritual and philosophical beliefs, leading to the emergence of Transcendentalism.
