The Correct Answer is B

Explanation:

In 1970, the Texas government modified its district boundaries. Opponents challenged that Texas had specifically modified the boundaries to ensure the minority's candidate could not win the elections. The United States Supreme court accepted and commanded Texas to re struct boundaries to make it more likely for minority candidates especially for the Mexican candidates.
