The correct answer is A. Philosophers who highlighted the importance of reason and human progress.<br /><br />Voltaire and Montesquieu were both prominent philosophers during the Enlightenment period. They emphasized the importance of reason, individual rights, and the progress of human society. Voltaire was known for his advocacy of freedom of speech, religion, and separation of church and state. Montesquieu, on the other hand, is famous for his work "The Spirit of the Laws," which introduced the concept of separation of powers in government. Neither of them were advisors to King Louis XVI, absolute rulers, or authors of the Navigation Acts.
