The correct answer is A.

The Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co. was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1866, in order to prevent racial discrimination when selling or renting private property. It is derived from the enforcement of the abolition of slavery, which was introduced by the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
