The correct option is: A)SCLC

Known as SCLC, it is a civil rights organization in the United States, founded in January 1957. It was proposed by Bayard Rustin and co-founded by Joseph Lowery and other religious ministers. Later, it was led by Martin Luther King Jr. The organization expressed the conviction of these individuals, that a broader organization could be developed based on the victories of the Bus Boycott in Montgomery, where its original name comes from. The organization focused on non-violent civil disobedience and was formed in order to improve racial equity for African-Americans.
