None of the provided choices accurately reflect a consequence of the implementation of Black Codes. However, if you are looking for an answer that best aligns, the closest implication in the context of the Black Codes would be:
(Choice C) Congress passed the Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed African Americans citizenship and equal protection under the law.
The reasoning is that the Black Codes were a response to the emancipation of enslaved people, aimed at restricting their newfound freedoms. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, was part of the broader Reconstruction efforts to counteract these restrictive laws by ensuring citizenship and equal protection for African Americans.
