The answer will be found in the first paragraph, which described what happened as a result of outlawing segregation in public schools in 1954.
a
It led directly ██ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████████ ████████████ ██████████
The author does not state this was one of the consequences. The formation of the SNCC was a consequence of sit-ins, but not a direct consequence of outlawing segregation in public schools. (Even if this answer said that the SNCC was an indirect consequence, it would still be wrong, because the passage didn’t explicitly state this.)
b

c
It provided a ██████ ███████ ██ █ ██████ ████████ █████ ███ ██ ███████ █ ████ █████ ████████
The author does not state this was one of the consequences. The passage did not describe a method used during the process of outlawing segregation in schools. If you’re thinking sit-ins are the method that (C) refers to, you’re mixing up the timeline. Sit-ins occurred after the outlawing of segregation in public schools.
The author states that there was growth in the movement after the outlawing of segregation in public schools. So it was not the conclusion of growth in the civil rights movement.
e
It galvanized established ████ █████ ██████ █████████████ ███ ███ ███████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███ █████
The author does not state that outlawing segregation in public schools affected established organizations or created new ones. If you’re thinking that this answer might refer to the creation of the SNCC, that was a result of sit-ins, not of outlawing segregation in public schools.
