Option B is the correct answer.

What were the black codes?

The black codes are the laws executed by states of Southern to made the white people in greatest power over the blacks.

After the abolition of slavery from the end of the civil war in America, the black codes were created by Southern states in order to keep the white people in supreme power. These codes induced the African Americans to still work on plantation areas and were prevented from political and economic structures.

Therefore, the limitation of the black codes implemented by southern states still made the supremacy of the whites.
