Explanation:

In May 1856, proslavery forces attacked the city of Lawrence, Kansas, which fits the timeline before President Pierce's action in July 1856. John Brown's attack at Pottawatomie Creek was in late - May 1856 but after the attack on Lawrence. Option A is not a major event in Bleeding Kansas in May 1856. Option D is factually incorrect as proslavery people would not vote to make Kansas a free - state.

Answer:

C. Proslavery forces lead an attack on the city of Lawrence, Kansas
