Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The National Black Feminist Organization (NBFO) was indeed founded in response to the perceived inadequacies of both black power organizations and feminist organizations in addressing the specific needs of black women, and it was notable for its early and open discussion of lesbian sexuality. However, it was not the only black feminist organization founded in the 1970s to survive into the twenty-first century, making option D the least accurate statement.
