Final answer:
By 1960, fewer than 10% of black children in the Deep South attended school with white children, indicating very slow progress toward desegregation after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Option a is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ten years after the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the percent of black children in the Deep South attending school with white children was very low.
In 1960, which is within six years after the decision, fewer than 10 percent of southern African American students attended the same schools as white students.
Progress towards desegregation and integration was slow, and resistance in the Southern states was significant.
Even after the momentous decision by the Supreme Court, which declared that 'separate but equal' was unconstitutional and that segregation in public schools was inherently unequal, many public schools throughout the South were closed to avoid integration.
Hence, option a is correct.
