a. african americans had more choices of goods than whites.

b. african americans paid more for goods.

c. african americans received treatment in stores that was equal to that received by whites.

d. african americans started their own businesses.

Explanation:

• Option A: During segregation, African Americans had fewer choices of goods than whites, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Segregation led to African Americans often paying more for goods due to discriminatory pricing and limited access to better - priced options, this is a valid effect.
• Option C: African Americans received unequal treatment in stores compared to whites during segregation, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: While some African Americans did start their own businesses, this was not a primary or widespread effect of segregation on businesses in the context of the options (the question is about the effect of segregation on businesses in general, and the unequal pricing/purchasing situation was more characteristic).

Answer:

B. African Americans paid more for goods.
