Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "African Americans".

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of literacy tests during the post-Reconstruction years was a tactic used by southern states to prevent that African Americans exercise their right to vote. This strategy caused that the registration of African Americans dropped significantly. However, the literacy tests excluded that many white people were registered as eligible voters either because many white people could not read or write.
