In the debates over the Compromise of 1850, Henry Clay's most famous argument was that

A) because God's "higher law" prohibited any cooperation with the evils of slavery, the North should refuse to compromise.
B) the North should yield completely on every point, ceasing even to discuss slavery.
C) fugitive slaves who escaped to the North should be guaranteed their freedom.
D) slavery did not need to be prohibited by a Wilmot Proviso because the facts of geography and climate prevented its establishment in the Southwest.
