    The answer is B. People learned the scientific evidence for the theory of evolution.

    Explanation:

    The Scopes Trial consists of the prosecution against John Scopes who was a science teacher. Scopes was teaching evolution in a public school in Tennessee, and in this state, a recent bill had been established considering the teaching of evolution illegal.

    This trial was considered as an opportunity for trying to defend Darwin's theory of evolution as well as for advocating for its legitimacy. The theory of evolution that has been presented by Charles Darwin was considered controversial during the 20th century and in 1925 the Butler Act considered teaching evolution a felony.
