    The correct answer is C. Slaves conspiring to burn down the city and take control

    Explanation:

    The New York Conspiracy Trials of 1741, also known as Slave Insurrection of 1741 were a series of events in which mainly slaves (although it is believed a small white and poor population participated) decided to revolt and cause different firers in all New York City with the purpose of conspiring against the government and establish a new one. Indeed during this year, more than 13 fires occurred in the city and this made the government suspect of a plot behind all of these fires, which led to the arrests fo many slaves and around 100 were executed for this. Therefore, the conspiracy in the New York Conspiracy Trials of 1941 was that slaves conspired to burn down the city and take control.
