Literacy tests were designed to see if a registered voter: a. owned property c. was old enough to vote b. could read and write d. understood the issues involved in the election

b. could read and write

A literacy test tests a person's ability to read and write. The literacy test cannot be used to determine a person's age for their voting eligibility. The test would also not be able to tell if a person owned property.
