Answer:

c) men

Step-by-step explanation:

In Southern states where plantations were found, men were the only people who were allowed to vote. Moreover, this category was usually restricted to white, free, property-owning men. Women and slaves of either gender were usually considered to be under the protection or tutelage of these men. Therefore, the voting men were considered to represent their interests.
