Explanation:

To determine the Lakota leader whose arrest prompted protests and the Wounded Knee massacre, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Chief Joseph the Younger) and D (Chief Joseph the Elder) were Nez Perce leaders, not Lakota, so they are incorrect.
• Option C (Geronimo) was an Apache leader, not Lakota, so it is incorrect.
• Option B (Sitting Bull) was a Lakota leader. His arrest led to unrest that culminated in the Wounded Knee massacre.

Answer:

B. Sitting Bull
