Under new deal reform, african-americans select one: a. were mostly excluded from social security benefits b. were universally covered by the fair labor standards act c. worked in integrated ccc camps d. passed a federal antilynching law

The correct answer is A.

The Social Security Act of 1935 excluded some groups of people from receiving these benefits. This included agricultural workers (like farmers) and domestic workers (maids, butlers, etc.). This exclusion greatly affected African-American workers, as most of them fell under one of the excluded categories. This means they had a severe disadvantage in comparison to white citizens.
