C) To print leaflets announcing Jim as a runaway slave.

Explanation:

Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" tells the story of an orphaned boy Huckleberry Finn and his search for freedom and adventure.  

In Chapter 20, we find the characters of the duke and the king along with the runaway servant Jim and Huck travelling to a new town. The previous night Huck had told them the annoying questions that people ask whenever they see Jim travelling with Huck openly during the day. There, the duke took over the printing office of the town so that he can print leaflets proclaiming Jim as a runaway servant with a reward. Then, if people ever ask questions about Jim, they can safely reply that they are in fact on their way to hand him over to the authorities and take the reward money.
