The correct answer is B. The Court outlawed de jure segregation.

Explanation:

Brown v. Board of Education was a legal case in 1954, in this, Oliver Brown and other African American parents sued the Board of Education for the segregation in schools as African-American children had to attend school at a different building than other children. This situation was common by then and it was part of the de jure segregation or the segregation supported by law as before the Brown v. Board of Education case segregation was allow if the services provided were equal. However, with the Brwon v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court established this segregation was unconstitutional and therefore it outlawed de jure segregation.
