Answer 1

The Supreme Court considered the aspect of whether providing services or facilities that seemed equal produced equal effects when it ruled against segregation in public schools. This is reflected in option A. The landmark case Brown v. Board of Education (1954) determined that "separate but equal" educational facilities were inherently unequal and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
