Answer 1

A. Sparked similar successful demonstrations throughout the South is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greensboro sit-in was a civil rights protest by the African-American students who were segregated at Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro. The African- Americans were denied the service so they refused to leave. This movement spread to the college towns in southern America and protesters were arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace. Their protests had a lasting impact and forced the Woolworth's to change their segregationist policies.
