Answer:

I think it's either A or C

Step-by-step explanation:

Prejudice is pre judgment of people and things in our mind, whereas discrimination is its reflection on our action, speech and behavior. Discrimination follows prejudice and not vice-versa. With increasing knowledge and information, much of prejudice and discrimination has been removed from this world.

Prejudgment: an attitude, belief, or impression formed in advance of actual experience of something. Synonyms: preconception, prepossession… Find the right word.
