The correct answer is: B) Tension and violence increased in other areas.

The Watts Riot was a rebellion in 1965 due to a fight an African American had with the police that rapidly scalated into a major conflict that spanned for 5 days and resulted in 34 deaths. In the midst of racial discrimination and residential segregation, this generated a revolt in other areas as well.
