b
The Freedom Rides ████ ███ █████ ████████████ ██ ███████ █████████ ██ █████ ██████ ██ ██████ ███ ███████████ ███████
The author never suggests the Freedom Rides were the “final” contribution of student activists. There may have been additional actions taken by student activists after the Freedom Rides that helped the civil rights movement.
c
The Freedom Rides ██████████ ██ ████████ ███ █████████ ████ ███ ████ █████ ██████ ████████ ████ ██████ ██ █ █████ ███ █████ ████████
Anti-supported. The Freedom Rides were a form of sit-in. They were not an “entirely new technique.”
d
Because the Freedom █████ ████████ ███████ █████████ ███████ ██████████████ ████ ████████ ███████ ████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ██████████████
Anti-supported. The Freedom Rides helped advance the civil rights movement in part because the U.S. government had to defend the protestors against violence.

The Freedom Rides ███████████ █ ██████ ██ █████████████ █████ ███████ ████████ ████ █ ████████ ████ ████████ ██████
The author doesn’t suggest that the Freedom Rides “transformed … uncoordinated local student protests.” If you liked this answer, you might have thought – incorrectly – that the Freedom Rides were an outgrowth of the SNCC. The passage never makes that connection. Instead, Freedom Rides are discussed as a separate consequence of the original sit-ins; the SNCC was the first consequence.
