Answer 1

The correct response to the effect of Philip Randolph's threat to march on Washington, D.C. is:

A committee was formed to ensure that African Americans were hired alongside whites for defense jobs.

This threat led to increased attention to racial discrimination in employment, particularly related to the defense industry during World War II, resulting in President Roosevelt's Executive Order 8802, which prohibited racial discrimination in the defense industry.
