Yes. It's "the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society."

The correct option is C.The zoot suit riots in Los Angeles revealed the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society.

The zoot suit riots of 1943 constituted a series of conflicts between European white Americans and Mexican youth. The youth’s preference for zoot suits triggered these conflicts. This type of suits required a lot of fabric to be made, which was considered as unpatriotic by the white Americans , due to the rationing of fabric that was established during the war.
