<em>D. Voting rights.</em>

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1965, also known as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, focused on banning literacy tests and equal voting rights among African Americans.

After the Civil War, slavery eventually became outlawed in the Southern states. However, this did not stop the prejudice that would occur to African Americans by white people.

Although African Americans were allowed to vote during this time, many Southerners did not want them to. Many believed if many black individuals were able to vote, they would vote for people in power that would better African American lives in the South.

In order for this to not happen, many Southern whites would do literacy tests at polls or even make it so you had to pay to vote. Many blacks during this time did not have a proper education and numerous of them could not read or write. Along with this, many were in poverty and could not afford voting fees.

After the Civil Rights Act of 1965, literacy tests of all kinds in the South were banned and now it was much easier for African Americans to vote at polls.
