Answer:
A. They feared the consequences of African Americans having political power.
Explanation:
To disenfranchise means to take away a person's right to vote. This was always an issue with African Americans during the Reconstruction.

The Democrats did everything they could to prevent black men from registering to vote despite the fact that the 15th Amendment gave them suffrage.

"Ulysses S. Grant became a colonel in the Union volunteer army. His first victory was when he captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February 1862. Also this man opened two rivers, and received national recognition for victories in February 1862, the first major Union victories of the war."
The most important factor from the options that lead to radicalized political parties was The Great Depression of 1929 (C).
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 led to a chain reaction not only in the U.S. but in many European countries as well. In the worst moments of the period, 22 to 23% of the American workforce, and 44% of German's workforce didn't have a job.
Due to the crisis, many American creditors charged loans made throughout the world; American companies stopped investing in other countries.
This generalized crisis, unemployment, and increasing misery of the population created a fertile soil on which fascist and nazi political figures fed.
