The correct answer is:
**c. The Grandfather Clause exempted most white voters and their descendants from paying a poll tax or taking a literacy test.**
The Grandfather Clause allowed individuals to bypass certain voting requirements (like poll taxes and literacy tests) if their grandfathers had been eligible to vote before the Civil War, thus primarily benefiting white voters while disenfranchising many African American voters.
