D. Southern slaveholders became more fearful of a slave rebellion.

Explanation: John Brown was captured, tried, and executed; his raid raised Southern fears of coordinated slave uprisings and deepened sectional tensions (it did not free slaves, pardon Brown, or lead to destruction of the armory by abolitionists).
