Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The discriminatory laws were annulled.

As protests and struggles against the apartheid regime increased, the white regime changed its policies. Discriminatory laws were repealed, the ban on political parties and restrictions on the media were lifted, and after 28 years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela walked out of jail as a free man. Finally, at the midnight of 26 April 1994, the new national flag of the Republic of South Africa was unfurled, and the apartheid government came to an end.
