Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 aimed to end discrimination. The option "It ensured equal treatment by prohibiting discrimination in schools, workplaces, and public spaces" matches its main impact as it prohibited discrimination in various areas to achieve equality.

A. It ensured equal treatment by prohibiting discrimination in schools, workplaces, and public spaces (assuming the first option is labeled A, adjust label as per actual option numbering; if options are unlabeled, describe the correct option text as above)
