Correct answer:

unconventional

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) had as its mission in the 21st century to guarantee political, educational and social equality and the rights of all people. The NAACP initiatives include political lobbying, publicity and litigation strategies, while The Universal Black Improvement Association, founded in 1914 in the United States, used "unconventional" alternatives to defend the rights of black people. Among these strategies we find a paramilitary group, nurses of the African black cross and the flight body of the black eagle.

The best option from the list would be that the United Negro Improvement Association was "unconventional" compared with other similar institutions at the time, since it advocated for a variety of auxiliary stations and was highly nationalist in nature.
