The answer is Anti-Heroes: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are portrayed as anti-heroes.

Explanation for each option:

  • Prohibitionists: This is incorrect. Prohibitionists were individuals who supported the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, which is unrelated to the characters of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

  • Anti-Heroes: This is correct. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are considered anti-heroes because they are the main characters who engage in criminal activities, such as robbing banks and trains, yet they are portrayed in a sympathetic and charismatic manner. This was unusual for the time, as protagonists were typically depicted as morally upright heroes.

  • Gallant Heroes: This is incorrect. Gallant heroes are typically characterized by their noble and chivalrous qualities, which do not align with the outlaw nature of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

  • Abolitionists: This is incorrect. Abolitionists were individuals who advocated for the abolition of slavery, which is not relevant to the storyline or the characters of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
