d. northern whites who helped the freedmens bureau be a success

Explanation:

• Option A: Alonzo Herndon, Chloe Spear, and Josiah Waddle did not lose their lives fighting against whites. Herndon was a successful businessman, Spear was an author and former slave, and Waddle was a community leader. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: They were not leaders of the movement to settle in Kansas. The Kansas settlement movement (Exoduster movement) had other leaders. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: Alonzo Herndon became a successful entrepreneur (founder of Atlanta Life Insurance Company), Chloe Spear was a former slave who wrote about her experiences and was part of the social fabric, and Josiah Waddle was a community and business leader in the African American community. So they were former slaves who became important in the African American business and social world. This option is correct.
• Option D: They were not Northern whites; they were African Americans (former slaves). So D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Former slaves who became important in the African American business and social world
