Answer:

The correct option here is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

While Kennedy was president he was met with the fierce resistance in Congress on many of his policies that he wanted to pass as the Congress was then in the Republican majority who opposed Civil Rights. It was only after the presidents death that President Johnson had enough public support to push the bill pass the Congress and make it into law.
