The correct answer is option A. The mention of governor Faubus in Jackie Robinson's letter to President Eisenhower strengthen the main argument of the letter by highlighting President Eisenhower's deep dislike of the governor, and shows his willingness to remove him from office.

Jackie Robinson was a professional baseball player, who became a leader on the fight for civil rights in the United States. When he wrote a letter to President Eisenhower, he decided to reference Governor Faubus in it, as an example of a political leader that was still pro segregation. Faubus had ordered the national guard to denied black students the entrance to school in Arkansas. President Eisenhower met with the governor to calm the situation, but Faubus did not followed his orders, and a violent riot erupted. At the end Eisenhower sent the arm forces to Arkansas and all the black students were able to enrolled. The President became the target of criticism from both sides, for not acting fast enough to promote civil rights for all, and for sending federal power to a state.

The reference that Jackie Robinson chose to make in his letter, had the aim of reminding the President that it was time to act against injustice, the type of injustice Governor Faubus was trying to install in his state.
