○ claudette colvin and rosa parks did not intend to start revolutions when they decided not to give up their seats on the bus.
○ claudette colvins actions were a sign of active resistance, while rosa parks merely didnt want to move after a long day.

Explanation:

Both Claudette Colvin (in 1955, before Rosa Parks) and Rosa Parks refused to give up their bus seats to white passengers, directly challenging racial segregation on public transit. Parks, a well-organized NAACP activist, became a symbolic figure for the Montgomery Bus Boycott and broader civil rights movement due to strategic positioning by organizers, while Colvin's earlier act was not elevated to the same symbolic status at the time. Neither acted violently, and both intended to resist segregation, not start revolutions.

Answer:

C. Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks both challenged segregation, but Rosa Parks' resistance was used as a symbol for a movement.
