Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option A: The case about birth control for married couples is Griswold v. Connecticut, not Roe v. Wade.
  • Option B: "Separate but equal" was upheld in Plessy v. Ferguson, unrelated to Roe v. Wade.
  • Option C: Roe v. Wade centered on a woman's right to abortion, arguing that the right to privacy (from the 14th Amendment's due process clause) extends to reproductive decisions. This made it controversial as it addressed abortion legality.
  • Option D: The case showing segregation's inequality is Brown v. Board of Education, not Roe v. Wade.
  • Option E: Roe v. Wade actually used the 14th Amendment's due process clause to support privacy rights, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. It argued that privacy extends to a woman’s reproductive system.
