The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the options for this question.

However, trying to help you we can say the following.

The statement that best summarizes the Court's ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke is "Schools should not use racial quotas, but they can still consider race when admitting students."

The Regents of the University of California v Bakke changed affirmative action policies in that it struck down the use of strict racial quotas.

Regents of the University of California v. Bakke was a Supre Court case of October 12, 1977, and decided on June 26, 1978. Alan Bakke had been rejected twice by the University of California Medical School at Davis. The University reserved 16 places for “minorities.” But Bakke had better marks than the minorities students admitted. The Supreme Court agreed that the University’s use of racial quotas was against the Constitution and ordered the University to accept Bakke.
