Explanation:

1. The slow progress and continued violence after the Selma marches led some younger activists to reject King's nonviolent approach as too slow and ineffective.
2. King's 1959 visit to India exposed him to Gandhi's nonviolent resistance philosophy, which he adopted and expanded for the U.S. civil rights movement.
3. The core of the selection centers on King's identity as a transformative civil rights leader with widespread impact, which is the most comprehensive summary.
4. The 1955-1956 Montgomery Bus Boycott was King's first high-profile, major leadership role in the civil rights movement.
5. In 1960, King returned to Atlanta to serve as co-pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church alongside his father, Martin Luther King Sr.
6. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, early in his later career, not during his final years (he was assassinated in 1968). His final years included jail time, speeches, and declining health, making this the false statement.
