Answer:

D. Emigration of whites from central Los Angeles as blacks were arriving

Step-by-step explanation:

White flight was the large scale migration of white people of various European ancestries from racially and ethnically diverse urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban regions. It began in 1950's and 60's.

It occurred during the civil Rights movement period. Historian believe that population pressures due to migration of black Americans from rural south to urban north and new immigrants from other countries were the main reason for the "white flight". They have also challenged the use of "white light"as a misnomer and its use should be reviewed.
