c. harrisons violent outburst makes the audience believe that handicaps are good.
d. harrison makes his parents proud that he stood up for what is right.

Explanation:

In Harrison Bergeron, when Harrison removes his handicaps, he demonstrates extraordinary physical and intellectual ability for a short time, revealing to the viewing public the potential humanity is suppressed from achieving by the government's enforced equality. Option A is incorrect because his rebellion is quickly quelled and does not spark a mass rebellion. Option C is wrong as his display does not frame handicaps as good; it highlights their oppressive nature. Option D is incorrect because his parents do not retain enough awareness to feel pride due to their handicaps.

Answer:

B. Harrison briefly shows people what is possible without handicaps.
