The answer is

A) Following Reconstruction, African Americans suffered through a resurgence of racial discrimination, terrorism, lynchings, and violence.

What is true is that after the Reconstruction African Americans achieved rights which were not available to them before, especially civil and economic rights, and political opportunities but it's also the case that they did not stop experiencing racism in many forms.
