Solution

The correct option is B Racism
The systematic attempt at the segregation and the marginalisation of the African American community led to a number of protests and demonstrations in the 1950s and 60s. These became collectively known as the Civil Rights Movement. The movement resulted in legislations to restore equality and eliminate racial segregation.
