Answer
A
staging protests and other demonstrations
B
holding boycotts of goods and services
C
establishing social service programs
D
filing lawsuits with the court system

Explanation

The NAACP primarily challenged segregation in the 1950s through the courts, using lawsuits to contest discriminatory laws and practices. Its legal strategy helped produce major rulings such as Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down school segregation. Protests and boycotts were also important civil rights tactics, but they were not the NAACP’s primary approach in this period.
