Answer: The correct answer is A. secession

Step-by-step explanation:

Secession is the withdrawal of a group from a larger entity, such as a political entity, union, or alliance. The secession of 11 slave states from the Union during 1860–61, following the election of Abraham Lincoln, began the American Civil War.
