Explanation

Both cases challenged racial segregation as unconstitutional, though they involved different settings. Plessy v. Ferguson challenged segregation on railroad cars, while Brown v. Board of Education challenged segregation in public schools. Choice A is true; Brown did not concern train cars, and the cases did not seek to overturn the Thirteenth Amendment.
