Solution

The correct option is B Segregation of people in society based on skin colour
Apartheid referred to the segregation of people in the society based on their skin colour. Thus, black and white people were not supposed to intermingle with each other in any of the public forums or establishments. This was highly discriminatory in nature, for the black people.
