Answer:

C. by holding a protest march

Step-by-step explanation:

When A. Philip Randolph and other social liberties pioneers endeavored to influence Roosevelt to end separation in barrier industry business, the president rebuked them. Randolph reacted by threatened to organize an extensive march on Washington, D.C.

Roosevelt perceived that the nearness of perhaps at least 100,000 dissenters in the capital could be humiliating and would occupy consideration from all the more squeezing issues. So as to conciliate the social equality pioneers, particularly Randolph, the president issued Executive Order 8802, which indicated that there would be no separation in the U.S. safeguard industry based on race, color or national origin.
