Answer:
The correct answer is A. Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette introduced  Enlightenment ideas to its readers.
Explanation:
The American Enlightenment of the eighteenth century was a social movement closely connected with the national liberation movement and the American Revolution. It was also strongly influenced by the English and French Enlightenment (especially the ideals of French materialists, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John Locke). The main goals of enlightenment were to replace tradition with a rational approach, absolute religious dogmas with scientific research, and monarchy with representative power. The thinkers and writers of the Enlightenment defended the ideals of justice, freedom and equality, considering them to be inalienable human rights. In America, the Enlightenment received a special name from Thomas Payne's pamphlet of the same name - "The Age of Reason". Enlightenment ideas were introduced in the nation by Benjamin Franklin, who learned this kind of ideologies in his travels through Britain and France, and sparsed them through his various writings, such as the Pennsylvania Gazette and other essays.
