maintain consent of the governed

Explanation:

The text states that Executive Order 10730 was issued to enforce court rulings requiring racial integration of public schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. Racial integration aimed to protect the rights of minority (Black) students to access public education, which aligns with "protect minority rights". "Preserve majority rule" and "maintain consent of the governed" are not related to this context, and "restore checks and balances" is about the separation of powers, not related to racial integration.

Answer:

A. protect minority rights
