The policy stemming from the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision was a) separate but equal. As long as the facilities given to blacks and whites were the same, companies could legally separate them.

Answer:

a) Separate but equal

Explanation:

In the Plessy v. Ferguson Case (1896), the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated public facilities were legal because they did not imply any discrimination against African Americans as long as they were consistent to the "Separate but equal" doctrine which, in theory, provided segregated but equal facilities (in terms of quality) to both white and non-white people.
