The correct option would be letter B) : It reflected the religious fervor and rise of revivalism during that era.

The Oneida community was founded in 1848 and lasted until 1880. It was created by John Noyes in Oneida, New York. The main cause of the formation of this perfectionist community was the Protestant revival, which according to the most enthusiastic followers signified the Second Coming of Jesus.

The foundations of this solid community were the following:

Communal life Criticism among the members of the community Complex marriage or free love. "Male continence" (a new term created by them) Ascending fellowship by which the elders became mentors to the young population.
