The head of the East Louisiana Railway would have most likely agreed with:

B. Homer Plessy must be arrested for violating only the Separate Car Act.

The Separate Car Act mandated racial segregation in public transportation. The railway company would have enforced this law, and as such, it's reasonable to assume that the head of the railway would support the arrest of someone who violated it.
