The correct answers are
B. Most Southern communities refused to integrate schools.

CSome communities closed their schools rather than integrate.

A is incorrect because it took as much as 10 years for all schools to start integrating. The southern communities were so angry that many closed schools before they would let African-Americans educate themselves. Some still opposed it but eventually had to end the practice.
