The correct answer is letter B.

Justice Harlan was known for playing important part in cases regarding equal protection, and regularly would vote in favor of civil rights. In the case Cooper v. Aaron he voted to desegregate public schools and before all that, he had his nomination for the Supreme Court delayed because several senators believed he would support desegregation in public schools in the famous Brown v. Board of Education case.
