The correct option is A

Montgomery Bus Boycott was a political and social protest that began in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, with the intention of opposing the policy of racial segregation in the public transport system. The fight lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African-American woman was arrested for refusing to give her seat on a bus to a white person, until December 20, 1956, when Browder v. Browder's ruling. Gayle went into effect and led the Supreme Court to declare unconstitutional the laws that required segregation on buses in Montgomery. Many important personalities of the civil rights movement participated in the boycott, among them the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy and the singer Mahalia Jackson.
