Answer:

B) Outlawed segregation in public education

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an idea conceived a year earlier while John F Kennedy was still president. However, his unfortunate assassination put this bill on hold.

Kennedy's Vice President, Lyndon B Johnson, then picked this bill up after Kennedy's death in order to get it passed through Congress. Johnson used his politcal expertise and alliances in order to get this bill passed. This was one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation in US history, as it helped to bring an end to segregation in public facilities.
