Answer:

b.residential segregation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Jorge who lives in a high poverty neighborhood feels ignored by the mayor of the city because they do not take their concerns seriously or even try to address the problems in the community. As a result of this they have stopped seeking help from the local government and have become disengaged from politics.

This is a good example of residential segregation.

Residential segregation is the separation of groups of people based on race, or income level.

From the example given, Jorge lives in a high poverty neighborhood and is ignored by the mayor, this shows that they are separated based on income level which accounts for the neighborhood being a high poverty one.
