Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The public education movement touched the lives of almost all Americans in some way, as it aimed to establish universal, tax-supported public schools throughout the country. Other movements, such as the temperance movement or antiprostitution movement, may have had significant impact on certain communities or individuals, but did not have the same widespread effect as public education. The antigambling movement also had limited reach in comparison to public education.
