Explanation:

To determine which pair of states had a greater African American population than white population, we analyze historical or demographic data. Mississippi and South Carolina (option A) had periods (especially historically, like during the antebellum era and in some modern demographic contexts for certain regions) where the African American population exceeded the white population. Other options (Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas) generally have white populations greater than African American populations in most historical and modern demographic assessments.

Answer:

A. Mississippi and South Carolina
