Answer 4

i'm thinking it might be D.

Answer 5

I think it's D as well but i'm not too sure.

Answer 6

I'm pretty positive that it is "D". Just because MLK Jr. supported freedom without violence so "A" and "B" wouldn't be the best choice and for "C" It wouldn't make much sense. Hope that helped! :)
