The correct answer is D because the question is referring to the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943, in which mobs of white servicemen attacked Mexican-American youth who were often wearing zoot suits.

This did not solve the underlying racial tensions, but instead led to a backlash among Mexican-American youth who felt unfairly targeted.
