Answer 2

The correct answer is B. They were prevented from voting

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "disenfranchised citizens" or "disenfranchisement" refers to the act of preventing or depriving an individual or group of people of voting this is achieved through laws and political measures such as unreasonable requirements or caused by social conditions such as discrimination or intimidation. This implies a disenfranchised citizen is a person that is considered as citizens and therefore, and usually protected by law except in terms of voting.
