The correct answer is C) It prevented states from denying citizens equal protection under the law.

Explanation:

The fourteenth Amendment was a critical milestone in the history of North America, where the Federal government prevented State governments from discriminating against American citizens and ensuring everyone was protected equally under the law.

The fourteenth Amendment did not give power back to the Federal Government, but it did help everyone to become more equal in front of the law.
