Answer:

D. Tell them all you have seen in this office- the sufferings of these Scotch women, robbed of their inheritance and left dependent on their unworthy sons..."

Step-by-step explanation:

The last option displays the excerpt 'Tell them all...unworthy sons' which substantiates that the central idea of 'Eighty Years and More' is each individual deserves equality before the law. The description of 'sufferings of Scotch women who have been robbed of their inheritance and left alone and dependent on their sons' shows that Stanton is concerned about their rights and feels that every individual irrespective of their gender must be given equal rights so they don't have to suffer, unlike these women. Stanton shares her own experiences and struggles in the patriarchal world for the seeking rights of the women. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
