Why Did the Accusations of Witchcraft in Salem Suddenly Snowball

Why did the accusations of witchcraft in Salem suddenly snowball in 1692?

A) The only way to avoid prosecution was to confess and name others in the colony as witches.
B) When Tituba testified, the issue became racial and the town divided over the question of equal rights for those who were enslaved.
C) All of the accused were children, and Puritans were determined to force their young to accept their religious traditions or face death.
D) English leaders had just moved the colonial capital to Salem, resulting in an influx of diverse settlers and upsetting the normally quiet town.
E) The colonists refused to take any legal action on the accused witches and relied purely on unofficial trials in individuals' homes.
