I would say the last option - "It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others." This option is saying that its (someones) right to be treated equally, as everyone else. Well, why else would he say that, unless he hadn't been treated equally before. I think that he was confronting the problem of (someone) not having equal rights, AKA being denied their rights.
