what was the outcome of muckraker ida b. wellss investigative journalism on lynching; specifically her pamphlet titled \southern horrors: lynch law in all its phases\?
it had no significant impact on the issue of lynching.
it led to an increase in public support for lynching.
it exposed the brutal reality of lynching and gained national and international attention.
it resulted in the arrest and prosecution of many lynch mob members.

Explanation:

Ida B. Wells' work was significant. Her pamphlet was investigative journalism. Muckrakers aimed to expose social ills. Lynching was a brutal practice. Her work brought attention. It didn't lead to immediate prosecutions (as systemic issues persisted). It also didn't increase support (as it was against lynching). And it had an impact (so "no significant impact" is wrong).

Answer:

It exposed the brutal reality of lynching and gained national and international attention.
