The correct answer is D. Racial discrimination was enforced by law.
To answer this question, we can analyze the image and consider historical context.
Under the apartheid government in South Africa, racial discrimination was enforced by law. This system was implemented to maintain strict racial segregation and control over the non-white population.
In the image you described, the top of the sign being in English and the bottom in Afrikaans provides an indication of different treatment based on race. During apartheid, English was associated with the white minority, while Afrikaans was predominantly spoken by the Afrikaner population, who were mainly wealthy white South Africans.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Racial discrimination was enforced by law. Apartheid policies ensured that different racial groups were treated unequally, with non-whites facing severe discrimination in various aspects of life, including education, housing, employment, and freedom of movement.
