B. Anyone can be spared from hell, no matter their sins

Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards made this statement in a famous preach in 1841. He stated that god's grace is necessary to save sinners from hell, but God has the power to lead them back to the right path. In doing so, he stated that people can and should always turn their lives around and follow god's rules, even after having lived in sin.
