Which of these ideas would supporters of the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling most likely have agreed with?

Ferguson (1896), the Supreme Court upheld racial segregation under the doctrine of “separate but equal.” Supporters of the ruling would therefore have agreed that this doctrine was legally valid. The ruling did not reject segregation or treat social rights as part of civil rights in the way the other choices suggest.
