The correct answer is option b. "Most cities and towns were burned to the ground".
Explanation:
The missing question is as follows:
"Which of the following does not describe the state of Texas after the Civil War?"
After the Civil War ended, the state of Texas entered to an era known as "Reconstruction", where for nine years people struggled to go back to normal conditions after the political, social, and economic problems that the war brung. However, it is not true that after the war most cities and towns of Texas were burned to the ground. Texas was left unprotected but more in a political and economical way, since the end of slavery and the change in their economics that were based on plantation were two major changes in this state.
