The answer to this question is letter B. Slavery was abolished and voting rights were extended to all male citizens.

The Thirteenth Amendment (ratified in 1865) abolished slavery.

The Fourteenth Amendment ratified in 1868) is about citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws for all persons.

The Fifteenth Amendment (ratified in 1870) extended the voting right to all male citizens without discrimination in terms of race, color, or previous servitude.

It was only in the nineteenth that voting rights were extended to females.
