Answer
A
The act sent hundreds of Klan members to jail
B
The act established military control in the South.
C
The act granted citizenship to African Americans.
D
The act gave African American men the vote.

Explanation

The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 divided the former Confederate states into military districts and placed them under military supervision while they formed new governments. So the provision was establishing military control in the South. The act did not itself grant citizenship or voting rights; those were addressed by constitutional amendments and other laws.
