Answer:

I think it's important to first define oppression, since there are different ways that it can manifest. But my answer would be "B", a person's perception that a particular group is less worthy. The other options can all be examples of inequality, discrimination, or injustice, but not necessarily oppression. Oppression involves the systemic, institutionalized mistreatment of a group of people, based on prejudice.
