"It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications." — Best choice.
Briefly: The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed discriminatory voting practices (like literacy tests and other devices used to deny minorities the vote) and authorized federal oversight and enforcement in jurisdictions with a history of discrimination. It did not allow literacy tests or remove basic lawful qualifications such as age, citizenship, or residency.
