B. He had little formal education and had not graduated from high school.

This option is NOT a reason Andrew Young's election was remarkable, as his lack of formal education is not typically highlighted in discussions about his significance as a political figure. The other options (A, C, and D) emphasize important aspects of his election that reflect the social and political context of the time.
