The sentence that best explains why Parris feels threatened is:C. The townspeople are outraged that genuinely good people are being executed.In Act IV of "The Crucible," the community's growing unrest and anger over the execution of respected individuals like John Proctor and Rebecca Nurse contribute to Parris feeling threatened. The dagger serves as a symbol of this outrage and the potential danger he faces from the townspeople who are increasingly disillusioned with the witch trials.
