The correct answer is D. Frederick Douglass reacted to Edward Covey, the cruel "slave breaker" who often beat him by standing up to him and fighting back.

Explanation:

In 1833, with 15 years of age, Douglass was rented to Edward Covey, a poor farmer with a reputation as a "slave breaker". His new master flogged him regularly until a year later, almost sunk psychologically, he managed in a confrontation with Covey that he stopped punishing him violently. After this event, Covey returned him to its previous owner.
