D. Impressive because of the recipients of her wealth

Explanation:

Abigail Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second president of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president.

Among other things, it tells about Adams' will, where she left her fortune to her female relatives and servants. She didn't include any male relatives or servants, except for her two surviving sons, in the will. This is why the contents of this will were impressive, almost shocking.
