Answer:

The answer is ACTUALLY B

Step-by-step explanation:

The decisions handed down by the Warren Court rulings significantly expanded the rights of those previously denied them. True, these tended to involve minority rights and the rights of the accused, but hearing those cases did not make them an "activist" court: ruling to guarantee rights to those who should have had them originally did.
