Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the conflict perspective, prejudice and discrimination arise when groups find themselves in competition with each other for resources, power, and status. This competition can lead to feelings of resentment, hostility, and superiority towards the competing group, resulting in prejudice and discrimination. Therefore, option A is the best answer. Option B is incorrect because living in a pluralist society means there is diversity, and it may not necessarily lead to prejudice and discrimination. Option C is incorrect because having low levels of ethnocentrism means that one is more accepting of other cultures and less likely to engage in prejudice and discrimination. Option D is incorrect because equitable sharing of resources and power may reduce conflict and competition, leading to less prejudice and discrimination.
