Which of these statements is an assumption the Supreme Court made when it decided the Brown case?

In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court concluded that separating students by race in public schools could not provide equal treatment, even if the physical facilities were equal. The Court reasoned that segregation itself created inequality and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Therefore, the correct statement is “Equal treatment cannot exist in separate facilities.”
