C. The court hearing lasted 381 days and the supreme court ultimately ordered the buses to integrate.

Hello.

The most suitable option is C) Montgomery buses were forced to desegregate.

On December, 1955, Rosa Parks was seated in the coloured section of a bus, and refused to yield her seat to a white man in a bus. For these two reasons she was arrested. Later on, African- Americans start a boycott, sitting in the coloured section and refusing to yield their seats. On 1956, a Montgomery Federal court declared that segregation violated the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that all buses must be integrated.

Hope this helps.
