Your exactly right it's A

After the Freedom Riders were viciously attacked by white Southerners, many people began to realize how bad things were getting. National outcry began and soon the American Civil Rights Movement was gaining more support. The federal agency began to put an end to discriminatory practices on public transportation. The Freedom Rides helped revoke the Jim Crow Laws, ending segregation.
