Answer
A
Voting rights could not be denied based on race.
B
Voting rights could not be denied based on gender.

Explanation

The Fifteenth Amendment prohibited denying or restricting a citizen’s right to vote because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Therefore, A is correct: voting rights could not be denied based on race. The amendment did not prohibit denying voting rights based on gender; that protection came later with the Nineteenth Amendment.
