Answer :

"c. disband its militia until a new state legislature was elected" is the best option. They were never forced to elect African Americans in any way during Reconstruction.

I believe A is the correct answer because under presidential reconstruction it was mandatory for souther states to ratify the 13th amendment this resulted in the abolishment of slavery
