separate but unequal

Explanation:

The U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which upheld racial segregation under the idea that separate facilities for different races could be equal. Desegregation is the opposite (ending segregation), equal protection is a constitutional concept (not the policy here), and "separate but unequal" was the reality but not the policy name from this ruling.

Answer:

A. separate but equal
