B) Religious leaders often organized and led anti-discrimination protests.

Explanation:

There were Christians on both sides. Many believed that segregation was the will of god. Many of them were strongly against interracial marriage, but there were those who were all about loving each other as brothers, just like Jesus asked men to do and organized protests against discrimination.
