Solution

The correct option is A Skin colour
During apartheid, people were divided into four racial groups, based primarily on skin colour and separated by law. The system was used to deny many basic rights to non-White people, mainly Black people who lived in South Africa. Hence, Option A is correct. The other options do not state the primary factor for segregation which is racial skin colour, hence, incorrect.
