The correct response is:

It increased tensions over the issue of slavery across the United States.

John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 heightened sectional tensions between the North and South, as it was viewed by many in the South as an act of aggression and a direct threat to their way of life. In the North, it intensified the abolitionist movement and raised fears about the possibility of violence in the struggle over slavery.
