    The correct answer is C, as Orval Faubus was the governor of Arkansas who used National Guard troops to fight integration at Central High School in Little Rock.

    He was the 36th governor of Arkansas, a position he held from January 1955 to January 1967.

    In 1957, he used the National Guard to prevent the entry of 9 African American people to a High School in Little Rock. This episode is considered one of the most important events of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. The United States was a nation segregated between an educational system for whites and another for African-Americans. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States (Brown vs. Board of Education) unanimously declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

    They were finally able to attend the High School after the intervention of President Eisenhower, who sent Division 101, putting the Arkansas Military Guard under federal military command.
