Final answer:
The correct answer is option C) North Carolina.
Step-by-step explanation:
The state that made the most progress with black democracy in 1894/5 was North Carolina (C).
In the late 19th century, Southern states implemented various measures to prevent African Americans from voting, including lengthy residence requirements, poll taxes, literacy tests, and registration procedures. While all the listed states faced significant challenges in granting voting rights to African Americans, North Carolina made relatively more progress compared to the other options.
It is important to note that even though North Carolina made some progress, this does not mean that black democracy was fully achieved in the state during that time period, as significant discrimination and disenfranchisement still persisted.
