Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits states from denying the right to vote to any citizen based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Option A is incorrect as arrest alone doesn't disqualify voting. Option B is wrong as federal tax payment isn't a voting - rights - related condition. Option C is not an accurate description of the Fifteenth Amendment. Option D matches the content of the Fifteenth Amendment.

Answer:

D. That states cannot limit the voting rights of individuals on the basis of race.
