You're welcome.

Yes, your answer is correct. The statement "They created a sense of inferiority that was inherently unequal" best supports the idea that the Jim Crow laws deprived African Americans of equal protection under the law. Jim Crow laws established a system of racial segregation and discrimination, restricting African Americans' access to various public facilities and services based on their race. By creating separate and unequal conditions for African Americans, these laws reinforced a sense of inferiority and inequality, denying African Americans the same rights and opportunities as white citizens.

Yes, absolutely A.
