B
decided to run in the next presidential election.
C

D
decided to lead a demonstration supporting the war.

Explanation

Martin Luther King Jr. became a nationally prominent civil rights leader during the Montgomery bus boycott, which began in 1955. He was assassinated in 1968, so he had been a civil rights leader for more than ten years. The other choices do not fit: he did not lead the Democratic Party, and he opposed the Vietnam War rather than supporting it.
