Answer:

A) They became more rigid as fear of slave resistance grew

This statement was true about slave codes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Over the years in the American history, slaves were deprived from every human rights and were even treated as a property rather than an actual person. This discrimination was common back in the days when only white people had the privilege to live properly. However, slaves did not accept that fate quietly but started to rebel in many ways against their owners.

With the constant fear from American colonies about the slave rebellions, and their anxiety paranoia rising, thinking that their salves would eventually turn against them they set several laws called Slaves Codes.

These codes restricted the way slaves were living to the point that they were not allowed to gather without the presence of at least a white person amongst them, and they are not to stay away from the owner’s property without permission, and they are not to be taught lo read or write, and many more.
