Answer:

The good choice is:

C) Voting Rights Act of 1965

Step-by-step explanation:

The Voting Right Acts eliminated legal barriers such as literacy tests and polling taxes (measures legalized by the Jim Crow laws) that didnĀ“t allow African-Americans to vote in the South. The act was signed into law by president Lyndon B. Johnson on August 6, 1965.
