Answer:

C. The Confederate States of America was formed in Austin, Texas, at the Secession Convention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Texas Secession Convention met in Austin in late January-early February 1861 after Abraham Lincoln´s election as president. Delegates voted 166 to 8 for secession. Nevertheless, the formal act of establishment of the Confederate States of America did not take place in Austin, but in Montgomery, Alabama.
