Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "championed", we analyze the context. The text shows Rustin organized protests and protested against colonial rule, indicating he supported or fought for causes. Option A ("efficiently broke apart") and D ("slowly gave up on") don't fit. Option B ("swiftly improved") is incorrect as he was advocating for causes, not improving them. Option C ("passionately fought for") matches the context of his actions (protesting, organizing) to support causes.
