The correct option is A

It was a historic decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. He endorsed affirmative action, allowing the race to be one of several factors in the admission policy to the university. However, the court ruled that specific racial quotas, such as 16 out of 100 seats reserved for minority students by the Davis School of Medicine at the University of California, were inadmissible.
