Answer
The correct answer is **C**. The headline itself indicates another march attempt was being blocked *after* a previous one. This implies that despite the events of Bloody Sunday (which clearly involved violence against the marchers), further attempts to march were being made. The headline gives no indication of the mayor's sympathies (A), the state troopers' involvement (B), or the newspaper's timing of coverage (D).
