ANSWER:
A. All of them refused
Explanation:
Southerners thought the 14th Amendment had been passed to punish them for starting the Civil War, and they refused to ratify it. Indeed there were sections which prevented ex-Confederates from voting, holding office, or being paid back for lending money to the Confederacy.
Tennessee ratifies the 14th Amendment, becoming the first southern state to do so. The remaining southern states refuse to ratify. Delaware rejects the 14th Amendment. Delaware fails to ratify the 14th Amendment, becoming the first state outside of the former Confederate States of America to reject it.
