6. Who among the choices defended Rizal from the effects of Noli? Group of answer choicesMarcelo H. Del pilarFr. RodriguesSpanish Politicians

To determine who defended José Rizal from the effects of his novel "Noli Me Tangere," let's analyze the choices given:

1. Marcelo H. Del Pilar - He was a prominent Filipino nationalist and editor who supported Rizal's ideas. However, he did not directly defend him from the repercussions of "Noli Me Tangere."

2. Fr. Rodrigues - He was a priest mentioned in the context of Rizal's work, and he had a role in discussing the implications of Rizal's writings. However, he did not fundamentally defend Rizal against any backlash.

3. Spanish Politicians - Some Spanish politicians viewed Rizal's work as a call for reform, and a few supported certain aspects of Rizal's ideas, but many also opposed him due to his criticisms of the colonial government and the church.

Given this analysis, none of the options were strong defenders of Rizal against the criticisms stemming from "Noli Me Tangere." However, Fr. Rodrigues had a more direct connection to Rizal's immediate environment and discussions regarding the novel.

Conclusion:

While none are perfect representatives of defense, Fr. Rodrigues might be the most relevant choice based on the context of defending Rizal from the immediate effects of his literary work.
