Explanation:

First Question (Why did Master Sergeant Benavidez earn the Medal of Honor?)

The Medal of Honor is awarded for acts of valor in combat. Master Sergeant Benavidez's actions involved risking his own safety to save others in battle. The first option about personal reputation, second about opposing the war, and third about training foreign troops don't align with Medal of Honor criteria (which is for battlefield bravery). The fourth option describes risking individual safety for others in battle, which matches.

Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation, especially in transportation. African Americans were forced to sit in designated (often rear) areas on buses, even if white sections had empty seats. The second option (boarding first) is incorrect, third (creating routes) is not typical of Jim Crow transit laws, and fourth (paying twice) is also incorrect. The first option reflects the segregation in bus seating.

Answer:

D. He risked his individual safety for the lives of other people in battle.
