Explanation:

In "Letter from Birmingham Jail", King describes the long - standing record of injustice in Birmingham, such as discriminatory practices and lack of response to the Negro community's legitimate demands, which left them with no alternative but to demonstrate. He didn't mainly focus on providing names of corrupt figures, explaining segregationist laws in this context as the main support, or quoting racist sentiments of city leaders as the key way to support this claim.

Answer:

D. by describing Birmingham's record of injustice
