Answer: Congress passed the Fourteenth Amendment.
Why: The Fourteenth Amendment (1868) guaranteed that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" are citizens, thereby extending citizenship to formerly enslaved Black people. The other items do not expand citizenship: the Naturalization Act of 1790 limited naturalization to "free white persons," the Dred Scott decision (1857) denied Black people citizenship, and the Diversity of Jurisdiction Clause deals with federal court jurisdiction, not granting citizenship.
