Board of Education?

B
The Brown case addresses whether public institutions can legally be divided by race.
C
The Brown case addresses whether districts should be penalized for segregating schools.
D
The Brown case addresses whether race-specific entrances are appropriate in schools.

Explanation

The excerpt describes a law requiring train passengers to use separate compartments based on race, with penalties for those who did not. Brown v. Board of Education challenged racial segregation in public schools, asking whether public institutions could legally be separated by race. Therefore, the best choice is that Brown addresses whether public institutions can legally be divided by race.
