movie theater.

sitting in a \whites only\ rail

Homer Plessy's arrest in 1892 was related to the segregation laws. He deliberately sat in a "whites only" rail car to challenge the Louisiana Separate Car Act, which led to his arrest. The other options are incorrect: he was not arrested for a movie theater incident, appealing a court decision (he was arrested before the court appeal process related to his case), or attempting to vote (his case was about transportation segregation, not voting rights).
