Answer:
C
Explanation:
A. This answer is an opinion and in anyway is that important is answering a question. Judging by the passage name" Declaration of Conscience". Even tho the passage is first person form what I can see from this paragraph, this is not really related to answering this question.
B. With the part, "...which members of their families have been politically mangled in the Senate debate-..", having family as the main idea or a upcoming main idea is not seen in the paragraph. Even though, it mentions "mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters", no relation to them as of a huge importance to the entire passage.
C. Demographic can relate to "mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters" in the paragraph. And they mention that the members of the family(I'm predicting), that they when they mentioned "mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters", they meant that they were silenced , kept, or families were destroyed in keeping women out of the voting system.
D. Nothing in the paragraph discusses accusations by "McCarthy" and if this was why he "discuss women in the passage", then there would be a continued off detail in which it supports this answer.
