C- Equal protection of the law under the 14th amendment was the center of focus in the infamous 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson.

It stated that separate but equal facilities were constitutional in terms of various aspects and that they upheld the racial differentiation laws that existed in the country.

It needed to make the 14th amendment of the year 1896 regarding the equal protection clause which gave every individual the battery that they cannot be denied any kind of services merely on the biased nature of races.

The court stated that the only difference between Black people and white people is of the race they belong to and not the constitutional rights. every citizen irrespective of their race will have separated but equal protection under the law.The incident which lead to this case began in 1892 when a train passenger named Plessy refused to sit in car for black people. Plessy's arguments were heavily rejected and it was further mentioned by the court that Plessy had made an biased mind.The court further made amendments (14th that year) regarding segregated racial laws. It was made clear that the mere distinction between racial difference was the race itself and not anything else.

Hence, option C is correct that the equal protection of the law under the 14th amendment was made under the infamous case of Plessy v. Ferguson(1896).
