Answer 1

OA. They created apartheid laws to limit the rights of black South Africans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although South Africa had a majority African population, the whites hold power over the blacks. This possibility of minority white being in power over the majority black population was only possible because of the racial segregation policy of Apartheid.

Apartheid was systematic legislation that segregates and allows the law to make a distinction between the citizens based on their race and color. And it was through this power that the minority whites were able to maintain power over the majority of black people.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
