Answer:

B. A "cooling-off period."

Explanation:

The Freedom Rides, was a movement initiated by a group consisting of twelve African-Americans and six whites, who were commemorating the seventh anniversary of a decision of the Supreme court which ruled that segregation in schools across the country was not constitutional. These groups attempted entering 'whites only' areas and this action, resulted in violent attacks by white mobs. The movement began on May 4, 1961.

When the situation became really critical, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, issued a statement where he advised that a cooling-off period be observed until a state of normalcy is restored. He reasoned that some of the travelers in the buses were innocent people who needed to get to their destinations, and so could easily be attacked by the mob who asks no questions.

Treaty of Versailles:
- Called for harsh punishment of Germany
- Called for Germany's demilitarization
- Called for Germany to lose it's colonies

Fourteen Points:
- Called for military to reduce size
- Called for alliances to be made known to the public
- Called for leniency on Germany
- Called for free trade among the nations

The most important difference is that the Fourteen Points called for leniency on Germany, while the Treaty of Versailles called for more harsh punishments on Germany.
