The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not mention the name of the text. Without the name of the text, we do not know what is included there.
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following.
There is a text titled "The Voting Rights Act of 1965." If that is the case, we can say the following.
The author of this text refers to that legislation passed in the mid-sixties and says that there are laws that were passed to limit American minorities to exert their vote in elections. Of course, the author not only refers to African Americans, but to Hispanic people or Asian people.
In the case of African Americans, the author includes a series of legislation that had been passed in different states to limit their civil rights despite federal legislation.
It all depends on the definition of the term Modern Era. The word modern comes from Latin word modo, which means right now or just now. It was used for the first time during the Renaissance in Italy to bring attention to the great rediscoveries of sciences, the arts, history and politics of Classical antiquity and the subsequent discoveries and progresses accomplished like the Age of Discovery.
If such definition is used as the basis for this question then the answer is definitely C.The establishment of global empires.
Indeed, since during the previous periods, Empires were limited to their immediate geographic areas. There had been some attempts to explore areas that were located much farther like the Vikings and their travels to Greenland and North America.
However, it was the Europeans: and to some lesser extent the Chinese, that actually discovered (in the literal sense of removing the cover) the Americas for the entirety of the world. The discovery paved the way for the emergence of Global Empires that were completely unprecedented in the history of humanity since they spanned several continents. For instance, the Global Spanish Empire Under Philip II of Spain in the 16th Century that spanned the continents of Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.
