The correct answer is "twenty states passed laws that enacted segregation laws". 1890 is a year were civil rights concerning diversity was violated, because state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States were enacted, in what is known as the Jim Crow laws. These laws were effective in twenty states, and were enforced until 1965.

"Twenty states passed laws that enacted segregation laws" would be the best option from the list, since Reconstruction failed in the long run to make sure that the newly-freed blacks were offered true economic opportunity.
