Answer 1

The correct option is C Apartheid was practiced between Indians and the native Africans.

During the period of 1948-1994 in South Africa, apartheid was hugely prevalent in the society. It was a system of racial discrimination between the white and the coloured races (the blacks and the Indians). Apartheid was mostly practiced to separate the whites from the non-whites, so that the whites could use more resources than the non-whites as they considered themselves superior in nature.
