Explanation:

To determine the correct option (assuming the question is about factual accuracy of MLK's biography), we analyze each:

• Option A: MLK's father was influenced by Garvey? No, factual error (Garvey's movement and MLK Sr.'s influences differ).
• Option B: MLK entered Morehouse at 15? Yes, this is accurate (he skipped grades, entered Morehouse College at 15).
• Option C: Met Coretta at Boston U? No, they met in Boston but the context of "pursuing doctorate" timing and meeting may have inaccuracies, and B is more definitively accurate.
• Option D: Ph.D. in 1945? No, MLK received Ph.D. in 1955 (typo in 1945, should be 1955), so D has an error. Thus B is correct.

Answer:

B. "As a student, King excelled. He easily moved through grade levels and entered Morehouse College, his father's alma mater, at the age of fifteen."
