The correct answer is C) economic sanctions by many of the world’s nations.

A factor that helped end apartheid in South Africa was the economic sanctions by many of the world’s nations.

The United States took the initiative in 1986 to impose economic sanctions to the government of South Africa, trying to put pressure in order to end the cruelty of the apartheid system in South Africa. The release of Nelson Mandela in February 1990 and those economic and cultural sanctions imposed by many democratic nations helped to end the apartheid system. Finally, free elections in South Africa were held in April 1994.
