Answer:

A . She opened a school for "young ladies" of color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prudence Crandall was against the discrimination of education of the African American girls. She started the first school for the African American girls in 1833 in Connecticut. She took the initiative of educating the black girls who were not given the opportunity to education because of their color and race. She gained support by many of the anti-slavery leaders. She was ridiculed and was subjected to many harassing consequences because of her step.
