Answer

the Congress of Racial Equality
B
the Montgomery Improvement Association

the Southern Christian Leadership Conference

the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

Explanation

The sit-in movement began when Black college students staged sit-ins at segregated lunch counters, beginning in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. Student activists organized the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to coordinate and expand this direct-action work. The other groups were formed earlier or grew out of different campaigns, so the correct choice is the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
