Answer

Brief Explanations:

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to formerly enslaved African Americans (and others), and the 15th (not in options here, but among the Reconstruction Amendments). Among the options, the 13th and 14th Amendments (option D) are part of the Reconstruction Amendments aimed at protecting the rights of formerly enslaved people. The 10th, 11th, 12th Amendments are not related to post - Civil War rights of formerly enslaved African Americans. The 12th is about presidential elections, 10th about states' rights, 11th about sovereign immunity. So the correct option is D as the 13th abolished slavery and 14th addressed citizenship/rights.

Answer:

D. 13th and 14th
