Answer:

A) American Temperance Society

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperance was a social movement targeting alcoholic beverage sales and consumption. It highlighted the adverse health and family life effects of alcohol. It sought legislation that extensively banned alcohol. Their teachings were somehow popular and led to the introduction, between 1920 and 1933, of the 18th amended United States constitution and the prohibition.
