President Eisenhower took the action of c. He sent in 10,000 soldiers to ensure that the students were safe and allowed to attend classes. This happened in Little Rock, Arkansas after the desegregation of schools and was part of the Little Rock Nine, commonly known as the Little Rock Crisis, where students were initially barred from entering the racially segregated school, which once they entered was integrated.

He sent 10,00 soliders cause he thought that the kids were going to get killed by the parents and children that didn't want them to go to the school and learn.
