The correct response is C. The students were the ones who were subject to the rules.

Explanation:

The National Student Association (NSA) brought together the student governments at colleges and universities in the United States. It operated as a confederation between these student governments in higher education between 1947 to 1978. Edward Schwartz was elected president of the NSA in 1967 and he advocated more control for students of their education and the norms that would apply to students in college or university. This included student inputs into the rules for housing and funding for student activities on college campuses. The NSA was later absorbed into the United States Student Association in 1978.
