A
de jure
B
de facto
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -De facto segregation was a term used during the 1960s racial integration efforts in schools, to describe a situation in which legislation did not overtly segregate students by race, but nevertheless school segregation continued.

Detailed explanation-2: -In law and government, de facto describes practices that exist in reality, even though they are not officially recognized by laws. In law and government, de jure describes practices that are legally recognised, regardless of whether the practice exists in reality.

Detailed explanation-3: -Here are some example sentences that use the phrases: “Our country is going through some very difficult times. We have an elected prime minister, but he has no actual power. Instead, the general who sits at the head of the military is the de facto ruler of the nation.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Judicial rulings and legislation passed during the era of the Civil Rights Movement ended de jure segregation, separation that was mandated by law and enforced by the government. But de facto segregation-separation that exists even though laws do not require it-persists to the present day.
