This pattern of response, known as "white flight," involves the movement of white families to all-white suburbs or the enrollment of their children in private schools in order to avoid attending integrated schools. While some neighborhoods may be integrated, the majority of white families tend to separate themselves from the diverse student population. While there may have been instances of formal return to Jim Crow legislation, this is not a typical response to school desegregation. Option D is incorrect because it includes "an overwhelming acceptance," which is not a historically patterned response by whites. Option E is incorrect because it does not offer an alternative response.
