a fight injustice and inequality for those who are unable to fight for themselves.
b use nonviolent protest to change an ineffective or corrupt government.
c protect nature from being used for purposes of corporate greed.
d live righteous and worthy lives that are not based on monetary gain.

Explanation:

Thoreau, in his works (especially "Civil Disobedience"), advocated for nonviolent protest against unjust or corrupt governments. Option A is more about advocating for others, not Thoreau's main urging. Option C focuses on nature/corporate greed, not his core message. Option D is about living simply but not his primary call related to government/society. Option B aligns with his idea of civil disobedience to resist ineffective/corrupt governance through nonviolent means.

Answer:

B. Use nonviolent protest to change an ineffective or corrupt government.
