Answer :

In the passage from the opinion of the court in Brown v. Board of Education, Justice Warren provides logical evidence to support his reasoning. He argues that segregation of children in public schools based on race, even if physical facilities are equal, deprives minority children of equal educational opportunities and generates feelings of inferiority. This logical evidence is based on the reasoning that separating children solely due to their race can have lasting negative effects on their self-esteem and educational outcomes.

Warren does not rely on empirical evidence, which would involve statistical data to show measurable differences in segregated schools. He also does not use anecdotal evidence, which would involve personal stories about children's experiences with segregation. Additionally, historical evidence, which would describe the origins and continuation of school segregation, is not the primary focus of Warren's argument in this passage.

Therefore, the most appropriate choice is logical evidence, as Warren is drawing a reasonable conclusion based on the psychological harm that segregation can cause to children in public schools.
