What role did the African National Congress play in the struggle against apartheid?

Correct answer: It led the struggle against apartheid

Correct answer: C, it led the struggle against apartheid. The African National Congress, or ANC, was a major political organisation in the movement against racial domination in South Africa. It demanded political equality, an end to apartheid and democratic rights for the oppressed majority. C is correct because the ANC’s central historical role was organising and leading resistance to apartheid and helping the country move toward democracy. A is wrong because strengthening apartheid would oppose the ANC’s purpose. B is wrong because the ANC challenged white minority rule rather than extending it. D is wrong because the movement sought wider political participation and voting rights, not their removal. The question asks about the organisation’s broad role, so remember its connection with anti-apartheid struggle, equality and democracy. Memory cue: ANC stands for a major anti-apartheid movement seeking equal citizenship.
