Hello.

The true statement about Martin Luther King is a) he was killed while working for economic change in Memphis.

King travelled to Memphis, Tennessee in order to support the sanitation workers who were on strike. They demanded equal wages since black workers earned significantly lower wages than white workers.

I hope this helps you.
