Explanation

The Birmingham campaign drew national attention, especially after authorities used force against peaceful demonstrators. This helped build support for civil rights laws and integration, and more Americans sympathized with the protesters. Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders were arrested, and agreements led public places in Birmingham to begin desegregating. The protests were widely reported, and the resistance was not entirely nonviolent, so A and F are incorrect.
