Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discrimination is defined as differential treatment against individuals or groups based on their race, gender, age, or other characteristics. It serves to limit the social and political opportunities of members of the targeted group. Prejudice, on the other hand, refers to irrational beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes about individuals or groups that are based on preconceived notions rather than fact. Given power to act on prejudice, discrimination is more, not less, likely to occur. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
