I believe your answer is C.) They promoted segregation and denied blacks their rights.

After the Civil War and Reconstruction, whites disenfranchised black men (by means of the poll tax, literacy test, and more), frequently relegated black workers to low-paying jobs, and poorly funded public schools for black children.

I hope this is correct, and helps!
