What kind of division did apartheid create in society?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Racial division
Answer: A, racial division. Apartheid divided South African society by classifying people according to race and assigning them unequal social, political and residential status. This was not merely a personal prejudice; it was supported by laws and government institutions. A is correct because racial classification and separation were central features of apartheid. B is wrong because science was not the basis on which citizens were legally separated. C is wrong because seasons do not determine political or social rights. D is wrong because music has no connection with apartheid citizenship. Memory cue: “racial segregation” means separation by race, usually accompanied by unequal treatment; that is the key meaning of apartheid.
