The correct statements regarding the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) are:
a. **Displaced as many as 200k African American tenant farmers from their land** - This statement is historically accurate, as various New Deal programs, including those related to CCC efforts, sometimes resulted in displacing tenant farmers, particularly African Americans.
c. **Enlisted approximately equal numbers of young men and women, although sexes were not mixed in CCC camps or projects** - This statement is misleading. The CCC primarily enlisted young men, and while women could participate in some programs, they were not part of the CCC in large numbers, nor were they typically mixed in the same camps.
d. **Sent 250k young men to do reforestation and conservation work around the nation** - This statement is approximately accurate; the CCC did enlist hundreds of thousands of young men for various conservation projects, including reforestation.
b. **Built the Tennessee Valley Authority** - This statement is incorrect. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as part of a separate initiative and was not built by the CCC, although both were part of New Deal efforts.
Based on this, the most accurate selections would be **a** and **d**.
