Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the quote and options:

• Option A: The quote is about her not being bossed, not why she joined many activist causes. Eliminate.
• Option B: The quote is from a friend about her personality, not about her childhood in Alabama. Eliminate.
• Option C: The quote shows she resisted being bossed, which foreshadows her resistance to the bus driver (who tried to boss her to give up her seat). This fits.
• Option D: The quote is about her personality, not about her being an activist before the bus boycott. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. It foreshadows Parks’ resistance to the Montgomery bus driver’s unfair treatment of her.
