Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Apartheid restricted the rights of about 80 percent of the population of South Africa.

Explanation:

Apartheid was the system of racial segregation in South Africa and Namibia (while the latter was South African territory) in force until 1992. Basically, this system of racial segregation consisted in the creation of separate places, both housing and study or recreation, for the different racial groups, in the exclusive power of the white race to exercise the vote and in the prohibition of marriages between whites and blacks.

In theory, the system consisted basically of the division of the different racial groups to promote "development". All this movement was directed by the white race, which established all kinds of laws that covered, in general, social aspects. A racial classification was made according to appearance, social acceptance or descent. This new system produced revolutions and resistances on the part of the non-white citizens of the country.

Its purpose was to preserve power for the white minority (21% of the population), which in other conditions would have lost its privileged position.
