The answer is C) People believed it was an attempt to resist desegregation.
Step-by-step explanation: When the design was changed in 1956, the St. Andrews Cross- the blue 'X' with the white stars on a red field- became a prominent feature. This portion had also been referred to as the "Confederate battle flag" during the Civil War. Because of this and the timing of the design change, many people believed it was an attempt to resist desegregation. Supporters of the change, however, said it was meant to raise awareness about the deteriorating condition of historic Civil War flags, as well as to uphold the ideals embodied by they soldiers who fought in the war.
Hope this helps!
