Answer
A
Both ended peacefully.
B
Both used occupation as a form of protest.

Both took place at the sites of former American Indian massacres.

Explanation

Both protests involved American Indians occupying a place to draw attention to their demands and rights. Activists occupied Alcatraz Island from 1969 to 1971, and protesters occupied Wounded Knee in 1973. The protests did not both end peacefully, and Alcatraz was not the site of a former American Indian massacre.
