Answer
The purpose of Document C, as described, is **to provide students with information about an important decision by the Supreme Court.** The passage clearly states it is an excerpt from an educational case summary about *Korematsu v. United States*. Strection, the organization presenting the information, is described as a non-profit that provides educational materials. Therefore, the most logical reason for the document's creation is to educate students about this historical Supreme Court case.
