Answer
A
protected African Americans’ voting rights.
B
encouraged passage of the Jim Crow laws.

assisted freed African Americans.

helped to formulate the Black Codes.

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau was established after the Civil War to help formerly enslaved people adjust to freedom. It provided assistance such as food, education, medical care, and help finding work. It did not create Black Codes or Jim Crow laws, and protecting voting rights was not its main purpose. The correct choice is “assisted freed African Americans.”
