Which best explains how the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments expanded citizenship in the united states?

B). by redefining citizenship and removing voting limitations

The fourteenth amendment granted that everyone born in the united states is automatically a citizen, and grants them equal protection of the laws.

The fifteenth amendment states that no one should be denied voting based on their skin color, gender, race, etc.

Although C is a possibility, the fifteenth amendment doesn't establish protection exactly.
