Complete answer:
Two African-American competitors, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each lifted a black-gloved fist during the playing of the US national anthem during their award ceremony at the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City on October 16, 1968.

John Carlos won a bronze medal at the Olympics in Mexico. He wore black socks and no shoes while receiving the medal to reflect black poverty. He was hoping to attract international attention to racial inequality in the United States with this gesture.
They wanted to prove that they won the Olympics in Mexico despite being victims of injustice and coming from an underprivileged background.

He went to the podium for the medal which was presented by David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter after the race had been completed.

To represent black poverty, the two U.S. athletes got their medals without caps, but they were wearing black socks. Carlos had his tracksuit unzipped to demonstrate unity with all the blue-collar employees in the U.S. and wore a necklace of beads that he described as "for those people who were lynched or killed, and for whom no one said a prayer that was hung and tarred."

Therefore, the correct answer is A

Note:
IOC ordered Smith and Carlos to be removed from the US team and banned from the Olympic Village in reaction to their conduct.
Smith and Carlos were widely ostracized by the U.S. sporting elite and subject to ridicule.
Smith and Carlos won the Arthur Ashe Bravery Award in recognition of their action at the 2008 ESPY Awards.
