The correct answer is:

4. The equal protection clause supported Bakke's case.

In the landmark Supreme Court decision in California v. Bakke (1978), the Court ruled that while affirmative action is permissible, the specific racial quota system used by the University of California Davis Medical School was unconstitutional because it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. As a result, Allan Bakke was ultimately granted admission.
