Answer:

C. When whites move out of neighborhoods after minorities move in

Step-by-step explanation:

The white flight is the mass emigration of the white population to other areas, before the massive arrival of immigrants or people of other races. The term has its origin in the United States when in the mid-1920s, the white population descended from various countries in Europe, moved to suburban areas with the arrival of black immigrants. The term has been used to refer to the emigration of South African whites fleeing the crime and anti-government discrimination applied by the ANC government.

They do this because they don't want to be associated with people who are "less" than them and they think that minorities being in their neighborhood will bring the value of their property down
