D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1920s, House Bill 197 was signed by the fifth Governor of Oklahoma, John Calloway Walton.

The bill was passed to restrict the schools from teaching the evolution theory of Darwin. The bill was attached with the Montgomery amendment. The theory was restricted because the theory of evolution denies the Biblical account of creation.
