I was hoping that someone could help, I do know that it had something to do with segregation and that it was not found to be discrimination, but I don't know which selection is right.

No.
What does this mean to you?
Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine.
Oh wait, I believe it is D.
Yes, D.
Plessy v Ferguson was delivered in 1896, and it took until 1954 for the Supreme Court to overturn it.
It would not be until the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, at the dawn of the civil rights movement, that the majority of the Supreme Court would essentially concur with Harlan’s opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson.
