Which statement about the 14th Amendment is accurate?

Explanation:
The 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship and equal protection under the law. The Citizenship Clause makes anyone born in the United States a citizen, while the Equal Protection Clause requires states to treat people equally under the law. That combination is why this statement is correct. The other options mix in policies not guaranteed by the 14th Amendment—free health care, gun ownership rights, and universal basic income are not provisions of this amendment (gun rights come from the Second Amendment).
