A
to promote a separation of the races

Explanation

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was formed to organize young people in the civil rights movement and challenge segregation through nonviolent direct action. Its original goals were not racial separation or promoting Malcolm X’s teachings or Black Power; those choices do not describe its founding purpose. The correct choice is “to use nonviolent protest to fight segregation.”
