a. whether to close the states public schools or comply with a federal order to desegregate them
b. whether to end the white primary system to enable minorities to play a greater role in state politics
c. whether to reinstate african american legislators who had been removed from the general assembly
d. whether to abolish poll taxes and literacy tests as requirements for voting in local and state elections

Explanation:

The Sibley Commission was formed to help Governor Ernest Vandiver Jr. of Georgia decide on school desegregation. The key issue was whether to close public schools or comply with the federal desegregation order. Option A matches this context. Option B is about the white primary system (already ended earlier), Option C is about reinstating legislators (not related to Sibley Commission), and Option D is about voting requirements (not the focus of the Sibley Commission).

Answer:

A. whether to close the state's public schools or comply with a federal order to desegregate them
