Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"De jure" means "by law," and the sentence states that segregation was enforced by law, so this is the best choice. "De facto" also refers to segregation, but it describes a situation where segregation exists by fact or reality rather than by law. "De face" and "De hisce" do not have any relevant meaning in this context.
