Solution

The correct option is D Rosa Parks
The bus system in Montgomery, Alabama city, had a segregation system to sit inside the buses. They had separate seating arrangements for the white and black people. A protest got sparked when Rosa Parks, an Afro-American woman, was arrested and fined because she refused to give her bus seat to a white man. Her arrest turned into a large scale mass protest led by Dr Martin Luther King.
