Which of the following statements accurately describes the state of Latino rights in the 1960s and early 1970s?

B) Due to the changing public sentiment after the Second World War, Hispanic Americans experienced very little discrimination in hiring, housing, and education, although activists still fought for ways to celebrate their culture in everyday society.
C) The population of Latino Americans was at its largest in the 1960s and early 1970s, but their rights and social equality only began to improve substantially when the population became much smaller in the 2000s.
D) Hispanic Americans' service in the military during the Second World War had helped to instill a clearer sense of American identity and pushed them to pursue equality, for they still often experienced segregation, discrimination, and limited opportunities.
