Solution

The correct option is C American Civil Rights Movement
It was around the 1950s and the 1960s that Martin Luther King Junior led a series of non-violent protest movements to push for civil rights and equality for the African-Americans in the USA.

Yugoslavia was dominated by the Serbs since 1986; India got independence from colonial rule in 1947.
