c. "But their sacrifice brought results. Slowly, but surely, restaurants throughout the South began to abandon their policies of segregation."

Explanation:

The question above is related to the "sit-in movement" that happened in the USA (starting 1960). The movement was a non-violent one and it was meant to give the African-Americans the same, equal rights with the white people. It took many sacrifices before the movement showed results.

Though it took time, the restaurants throughout the South began to abandon their policies of segregation. This statement best supports the idea regarding the violence that the activists endured while doing the movement.
