Step-by-step explanation:

lynch mobs where never punished for their actions alot of lynch mobs had law enforcement on their side

I don't know about c but if a and b are correct that's more than one answer correct so the answer would have to be D

Answer:

The right answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lynching was a brutal, racist, criminal, irrational act. Very often , the victims had done nothing wrong. As historians broadly say, lynching was a method of social and racial control and intimidation, it meant to terrorize black Americans and force them into submission, into accepting an inferior racial caste position. This "mob justice" often went unpunished. Many people would take pieces of flesh and bones of lynched victims as "souvenirs."
