Explanation:

• Option A: The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (which granted citizenship to all Indigenous people, not just reservation residents) was signed by Coolidge, but this option's scope is incorrect.
• Option B: The 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, before Coolidge took office in 1923.
• Option C: Coolidge did not take significant action to support Black civil rights during his presidency.
• Option D: Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which extended citizenship (and with it, federal voting rights) to all Indigenous people in the U.S.

D. extended voting rights to all Indigenous people in the United States.
