C is the only answer that fits but it doesn’t say “how” it restricted blacks from the right to vote (which is what disenfranchise means). Only restates that they were disenfranchised.
It restricted them from voting because:
1) Being ex-slaves they had little money so could not afford to pay the poll tax.
2) Being ex-slaves they were generally not allowed to learn to read and write so couldn’t take a written test and also wouldn’t be knowledgeable about events that might have appeared in newspapers.
