Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that visible minorities often face wage discrimination and earn less than their white counterparts. Therefore, it is likely that Archie, as a white man, earns more than Mohammed, a visible minority man, even if they perform the same job. The question does not provide information on their education, so D cannot be determined.
