Answer: (A)

This item is about the historical relationship between the New Farmers of America and the Future Farmers of America. The New Farmers of America was created to provide African-American students with agricultural education and leadership opportunities during a time of segregation. It operated from the 1930s through the mid-1960s, until it merged with the FFA in 1965 to form a single organization open to all members. Because of that history, the statement is true: NFA existed as an agricultural organization for African-American students before the merger with FFA.
