Answer 2

The correct answer is B. A university guarantees that a certain number of racial minorities and women will be admitted to its medical school.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke of the Supreme Court of 1978 established that the fact that the University reserved admissions for members of racial minorities was unconstitutional, for violating the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment, which establishes that no distinctions of any kind must be made under the ethnicity of people. Thus, the fact of taking an admission examination and then taking an affirmative action without taking into account the results of said examination was clearly in violation of the aforementioned amendment, and should therefore be prohibited.
