A
They all advocated for compassionate treatment of people who had a mental illness.
B
They all performed exorcisms of people who had been accused of witchcraft or being possessed.
C
All three made a connection between abnormal behavior and what sign of the zodiac a person was born under.
D

Explanation

Philippe Pinel, William Tuke, and Benjamin Rush are associated with reforms that encouraged more humane and compassionate care for people with mental illness. Pinel promoted less restrictive treatment in France, Tuke founded a more humane retreat in Britain, and Rush advocated improved care in the United States. Exorcisms, astrology, and lobotomies were not the shared basis of their work.
