b. blacks had equal opportunities in housing and employment.
c. northerners granted complete equality to blacks.
d. freed blacks faced an increased presence of the ku klux klan.

Explanation:

After the Civil War, while the North was less overtly discriminatory than the South in some aspects (like no legalized Jim Crow laws in the same sense immediately after), there was still significant racial prejudice. In housing, redlining (though the term was more formalized later) and discriminatory practices kept Black people from getting the same housing opportunities. In employment, they were often restricted to lower - paying, more menial jobs. The Ku Klux Klan was more of a Southern phenomenon at that time. Complete equality was not granted.

Answer:

A. They faced discrimination and limited opportunities.
