Answer:

C. equal protection of the law

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what I found -

Plessy v. Ferguson was the first major inquiry into the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment's (1868) equal-protection clause, which prohibits the states from denying “equal protection of the laws” to any person within their jurisdictions.
