Explanation:

The text states that the Brown decision recognized school segregation as unconstitutional and that the integration of schools was a critical mission in the Civil Rights Movement, creating national momentum for further reform. This indicates an increase in civil rights activism. The option "a shift toward renewed segregation" is incorrect as the decision was against segregation. The option "a decline in civil rights protests" is also incorrect as the decision led to more activism, not a decline.

Answer:

B. an increase in civil rights activism
