A. The correct marginalized group for this action is individuals with disabilities. This executive order created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to protect and extend the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, ensuring equal opportunities, accessibility, and non-discrimination.
B. The correct marginalized group for this action is female college students. Title IX was created through a Supreme Court ruling to protect the rights of female college students, ensuring equal opportunities in educational institutions and prohibiting gender discrimination in these settings.

Hodges, a Supreme Court ruling in 2015, same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide, providing legal protection and recognition of the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals to marry and have their unions recognized by the federal government.
