    The correct answer is D. Dorothea Dix was a reformer in the area of prisons and mental health.

    Explanation:

    Dorothea Dix was very interested in education and opened a few schools for poor and neglected children in Boston. In 1840-41 she started teaching in the Sunday school of a women's prison. Due to the harsh conditions in prison (much misery and abuse), she developed a new vision of psychiatric patients. The new vision was completely in contradiction with the then general view that the mentally ill were untreatable. Dorothea Dix wanted to treat psychiatric patients with holistic therapy and occupational therapy. By publishing her findings, she eventually had the opportunity to further expand the psychiatric institute and to reform mental health care in North Carolina.
