Answer: C) to make up for past discrimination policies.

Affirmative action is the policy of promoting the education of minorities and members of groups that have historically suffered discrimination. Affirmative action intends to reduce inequalities in employment, pay and access to education. The policy can take many forms, such as the use of quotas and preference or special consideration in selection processes.
