Correct: literacy tests and voter segregation.
Explanation: The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed discriminatory voting devices and practices (most famously literacy tests) and provided federal enforcement and preclearance to stop racially discriminatory election rules and procedures used to segregate and disenfranchise Black voters. Poll taxes were abolished for federal elections by the 24th Amendment (1964) and for state elections by the Supreme Court (Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, 1966). Gender discrimination in voting had been ended earlier by the 19th Amendment (1920).
