The correct response is:
B. It opposed the decision and added Confederate imagery to the new state flag.
In reaction to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, many southern states, including Georgia, resisted the ruling. This resistance often included actions such as modifying state symbols to reflect a pro-segregation stance.
