Answer: A. white people

Step-by-step explanation:

In an effort to increase the desegregation of the schooling system in the United States, the Supreme Court allowed the transportation of school students on buses to be used a means to do so.

Forced busing referred to transporting children within and outside their school districts which would have the effect of carrying children of different races as they lived in different districts at the time.

White people were very opposed to this and reacted by sending their children to private schools and relocating to the suburbs of large cities where they would not be subject to forced busing.
