Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Niagara Movement, founded in 1905, primarily focused on civil rights for African Americans, including freedom of speech, the abolition of racial distinctions, and respect for labor. It did not specifically call for guaranteed suffrage for all women, which was more directly addressed by the women's suffrage movement.
