Explanation:

(Lines 42-46) these lines from the text provide the best evidence for the connection between the Pullman Porters and Rosa Parks. The correct option is C.

Pullman porters were men hired to work as sleeping car porters on railroads. George Pullman began hiring former slaves to work on his sleeper cars shortly after the American Civil War. Their duties included transporting passengers' luggage, shining shoes, setting up and maintaining sleeping berths, and serving passengers.

In Montgomery, Alabama, it was a Pullman porter named E.D. Nixon who paid Rosa Parks' bail and asked a young Martin Luther King, Jr. to lead a bus boycott. Through their tenacious organizing, the porters not only improved their own lives and working conditions, but they also laid the groundwork for the civil rights movement.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.
