The correct answer is B.

King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail,” was a response to a letter published in a newspaper decrying the demonstrations and calling them "unwise."

Here, King talks about how important it is for African Americans to fight for his rights and to end racial segregation. He understood that it was up to them to end the discrimination, since all the clergyman and the white moderates who supposedly believed in his cause didn't like the "tension" and unrest caused by the protests.
