Explanation:

Taken place throughout the 1950's and 1960's, the Civil Rights Movement was a fight for social justice. The main motive of this movement was to obtain equal rights from the U.S. laws for Blacks. Though the Civil War put an end to slavery it could not end the discrimination against blacks. The Black community, in the United States and more particularly in the South, was experiencing racial discrimination. Throughout the mid 20th century this violence and discrimination extended to an extent that the African-Americans along with some whites launched a unique fight for equality. In this struggle, Martin Luther King, provided leadership to the Black community and played a very significant role in the Civil Rights Movement. Therefore, option B, will be the right answer.
