Final answer:

The correct answer is option b) Civil Rights Movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The religious atmosphere of Elizabethan England under Queen Elizabeth I, particularly pertaining to Catholicism, can be paralleled to the Civil Rights Movement in 1950s America. Just as the Catholics during the Elizabethan era faced persecution and restrictions such as not being allowed to sit in Parliament, not being able to worship freely, and limitations on bearing arms, African Americans in 1950s America also faced systemic oppression and were involved in a struggle for rights and social justice.

The pursuit of religious freedom for Catholics in England had the same resonance as the pursuit of racial equality for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. Both movements aimed to upend the systemic unfairness and legal barriers to equality, whether based on religion or race.
