Explanation:

The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States that enforced racial segregation. They were not about providing civil and political rights to blacks (A is incorrect), nor about military desegregation (B is incorrect) as they mainly affected civilian - life segregation, and they were not related to preventing women from voting (D is about a different form of discrimination). They were specifically aimed at separating different races.

Answer:

C. to enforce segregation, or the separation of different peoples
