Complete Step by step solution
Black Power was a revolutionary civil right movement that occurred in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States (US). It was created by an influential organisation known as the Black Panther Party and became mainstream in 1966. This movement followed the principles of Malcolm X and fought for racial pride and indiscrimination, socio-economic empowerment of every one, and the promotion of political and cultural institutions for the minority Black people in the US. It was a non-violent protest.
Although the movements subsided by 1970’s, they had an huge impact on the cultural and political stand of Black people and also this movement became a pioneer for all the other minorities in the US to come forward and fight for their rights.

So the answer is 1966, option (C)

Notes Black Power movement gained the most momentum in 1966 after starting a decade before that. And the movement declined in the 1970's but not before leaving a huge impact on society leading to racial pride and socio-economic empowerment of Black people.
