a) he believes in justice and equality
b) he wants to become famous

d) he is forced to defend him by the court

Explanation:

In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Atticus Finch is a character who upholds moral values of justice and equality. He defends Tom Robinson because he believes everyone deserves a fair trial and equal treatment under the law, not for fame, pity, or being forced. Option B is incorrect as Atticus isn't motivated by fame. Option C: his defense is based on principle, not just pity. Option D: he isn't forced; he takes the case to uphold justice. So the main reason is his belief in justice and equality.

Answer:

A) He believes in justice and equality
