Answer
A
The act set a punishment for certain social behaviors.
B
The act limited the employment of African Americans.
C
The act granted citizenship to anyone born in the US.
D
The act divided the South into five military districts.

Explanation

The Reconstruction Act of 1867 divided the former Confederate states into five military districts, each overseen by a Union general. This allowed the federal government to supervise the South’s reorganization and set conditions for states to rejoin the Union. The choice about citizenship describes the Fourteenth Amendment, not the Reconstruction Act.
