"De facto" segregation refers to separation that occurs not through official laws or regulations, but rather through social norms, practices, and behaviors. In this context, the best description from your options is:

Separation that occurred through intimidation, violence, and unfair laws.

This indicates that even in the absence of formal legal segregation, societal pressures and systemic discrimination resulted in the separation of races in practice.
