It's definitely not the Eighteenth Amendment - this Amendment introduced the Prohibition on Alcoholic beverages. This means we can exclude options B and C that include the Eighteenth Amendment.

The correct answer is d. Nineteenth and Twenty Fourth - the 24th Amendment prohibited denial of voting rights to people who did not pay the poll tax.
