A
Micah's rural origins allowed him to empathize with the economic hardships of the peasantry exploited by the urban aristocracy, giving him moral authority to condemn their injustice.
B
Micah's lack of formal education made him resentful of the educated elite, leading him to exaggerate their wrongdoings for personal gain.
C
Micah's isolation from the centers of power prevented him from accurately understanding the complexities of governance, resulting in simplistic and unrealistic solutions.
D
Micah's prophetic pronouncements were primarily driven by a desire to overthrow the existing political order and establish a rural-based theocracy.

Micah 1:1, 3:1-3, 6:6-8
