Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Marcus Garvey's downfall was not due to a failure to attract support from the black working class; in fact, he garnered significant support among this group through his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). His downfall was more directly related to financial mismanagement, legal issues, and opposition from other black leaders and organizations.
