The right answer is the Quaker Renaissance.

Explanation:

The Quaker Renaissance was a revival and expansion of Quaker religious feeling that took place from the late 19th century through the early 20th century. It began in the UK with young Quaker leaders like Rowntree, Grubb and Jones, who fostered a critical and socially-aware reading of the Bible and a move towards scientific thinking and liberal Christianity. At the turn of the century, and especially throughout and after the First World War, Quaker ideas like pacifism and egalitarianism began to increase in popularity in Europe and North America and to impact political movements and government policy; for example, during the Great War their strong anti-war activism gave rise to the figure of the conscientious objector.
