Answer:

B. You have at least one ancestor who was enslaved

Step-by-step explanation:

From the 1865 Special Field Orders, the issue of reparation has been recurring in the politics of United States. The qualification has been set out that descendants of slaves should be given a sort of compensation.

So, it is seen that one who has an ancestor who was once a slave should be compensated for the experiences that ancestor passed through.

This idea of descendants of slaves qualified for reparation was also brought to public discourse after Ta-Nehisi Coates published his 2014 publication of "The Case For Reparations".
