The right answer is the C: Slave codes gave whites more power over enslaved people. Slave codes were, in fact, a group of laws passed by the white settlers, who, fearing slave uprisings, decided to restrict slaves' rights. As a result of these laws, slaves were not allowed to own any property or to gather in large groups. Furthermore, it was illegal to instruct a slave, and they were not permitted to get married. These are just some examples, but there were other restrictions that were implemented in each individual colony.
