Answer
A
Alabama’s segregation laws were unconstitutional.
B
Montgomery’s segregation laws were constitutional.
C
public schools should be integrated as quickly as possible.
D
the military should be integrated as quickly as possible.

Explanation

The Supreme Court let stand a lower-court ruling that segregation on Montgomery’s buses violated the Constitution. That ruling made the bus segregation laws unenforceable, ending the boycott. So the best choice is that Alabama’s segregation laws were unconstitutional; the decision concerned buses, not public schools or the military.
