Answer
A
it had been unable to found any schools in the South.
B
African Americans were adjusted to freedom.
C
it had achieved all of its goals and promises.
D
it lacked the needed funding and effective planning.

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau closed in 1872 largely because it lacked sufficient funding and faced weak planning and political support. It had helped establish schools and provide aid, but it had not achieved all of its goals, and many formerly enslaved people still needed support. So the best answer is “it lacked the needed funding and effective planning.”
