b. that states cannot limit the voting rights of individuals on the basis of race.

Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment prohibits states from denying the right to vote based on race. It was a key Reconstruction - era amendment aimed at ensuring African - American men could vote. Option A is incorrect as voting rights are not tied to federal tax payment in this amendment. Option C is wrong because arrest history is not a factor in the Fifteenth Amendment's provisions. Option D is too broad; the amendment specifically targets state - level discrimination based on race.

Answer:

B. That states cannot limit the voting rights of individuals on the basis of race.
