b. he ordered national guard troops to enforce school desegregation in kansas.
c. he insisted that all schools truly be separate but equal.
d. he made clear his constitutional duty to uphold the supreme court's ruling.

The correct answer is option "D".

After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Brown v. Board of Education in 1954,  President Eisenhower made clear his constitutional duty to uphold the Supreme Court's ruling. Although President Eisenhower did not fully support the Brown v. Board of Education decision, despite his reticence when dealing with racial issues, he acknowledged his constitutional responsibility so as to uphold the Supreme Court’s rulings. Eisenhower believed that the process of desegregation had to go slowly, since integration required a change in people's hearts and minds. However, when Eisenhower finished his mandate in 1961, only 6 percent of African American students attended integrated schools.
