The best reason that explains, why many people objected to the Georgia flag being changed is choice (A) where people believed it was an attempt to prevent racial integration of public places.

Explanation:

When the Georgia flag was changed, many opposed the change. Groups like the UDC said that incorporating this flag will be too divisive, people should show patriotism, as United states is all about one nation.

The people also felt that there was nothing wrong with the previous flag and that the people were very content with it.

Many people also felt that the flag was a symbol of racist protest. The people also didn't want to purchase a new flag, as it would place a burden on them to buy a new one and replace the older one. Political pressure was put by different groups to change the official state flag during the 90's but nothing came of it.
