Yohanan Ben Zakkai was able to put up a school for rabbis due to the permission of Vespasian, a Roman general. When the city where Zakkai lived was under siege by Vespasian, he faked his death so that he can hide inside a coffin and his pupils can bring him out of the city. He told Vespasian that he had a vision of the general would soon be an emperor, and he requested that his city be spared from war and for him to be able to build a school. Vespasian agreed that if the prophesy came true, he will grant his request. After becoming the emperor, Ben Zakkai was able to put up his school.

The correct answer is B. To end segregation in public education.
Explanation
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was an association made up of multiracial activists founded in 1909. This association was recognized for the Brown Case against the Council of Education of 1954 in which they argued that state laws that established separate schools for black and white students segregated the black community and denied them equality. Thereafter, the United States Supreme Court ruled that state laws establishing separate schools for African American and white students denied the equal educational opportunity. So the correct answer is B. To end segregation in public education.
