The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was founded in response to what? the Chicago race riots the Palmer Raids the postwar inflation the rise in labor strikes

your list doesn't mention any of them at all.

and what does "these" mean anyway ?

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.

there are many answers to this question, such as a diplomat, ambassador, soldier, united nations employee, cia, etc.
