The correct answer is:

A: The number of African American voters in Mississippi increased significantly.

Freedom Summer, also known as the the Mississippi Summer Project, was a 1964 campaign aimed at increasing black voter registration in Mississippi, sponsored by civil rights organizations like the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).  

Fifty Freedom Schools were stablished, and managed to register twelve hundred African Americans that year.  By 1966, more than half of African-Americans in southern states had registered to vote.

A result of the Freedom Summer campaign was that:

(A) The number of African American voters in Mississippi increased significantly.

During the summer of 1964, the civil rights activists in the United States decided to take action in Mississippi to make progress the black vote in the elections. They wanted to change things by electing black representatives to the national democratic convention. We can say that this movement succeeds because it was only 6.7% of the black community in Mississippi voted before, 16.3% lower than the national average. Four years later, in 1969, they become 66.5% and means 5.5% above the national average.

The other main results of this campaign were the strengthening of the civil rights movement in Mississippi with the creation of schools of freedom and the increase of activists in the different organizations. The signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was encouraged by this movement too.

The main organizer group of the Freedom Summer was the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). This committee was assisted by other students from across the country, especially from the north. Many segregationist acts of violence occurred during the summer of 1964. Churches were burned, many people were wounded and died. At the end of the movement, many militants who had come from the north stayed in Mississippi and continued the fight for civil rights.
