Answer
A
to support legislation that banned the practice of lynching
B
to support social and political rights for African Americans
C

Explanation

The Niagara Movement was founded in 1905 by W. E. B. Du Bois and other Black activists to demand full civil, political, and social equality for African Americans. Its purpose was to challenge segregation and discrimination, so the best choice is “to support social and political rights for African Americans.” The movement opposed accommodationism, making D incorrect.
