Answer:

The right answer here is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The KKK´s remergence took place in 1915. New adherents were inspired by such works as Thomas Dixon´s 1905 book "The Clansman" and D.W. Griffith´s 1915 film "the Birth of a Nation." The new KKK was not only anti-black, it also took Jews, Catholics, labor unions and foreigners as targets.
