All your answers are right.

Correct! The answer is D. Fifteenth Amendment.

To arrive at this answer, we need to have some knowledge about American history, specifically about constitutional amendments. Here's what you need to know to understand why the correct answer is the Fifteenth Amendment:

The Thirteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, and prohibited states from denying any person the equal protection of the law.

The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited any state from denying the right to vote to any male citizen on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This amendment aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men.

Therefore, since the question specifically mentions the amendment that prohibits denying the vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, the correct answer is D. Fifteenth Amendment.
