Which of the following statements about south africa during apartheid is most accurate?
a. the majority of south africa's population was white, and non-whites were legally discriminated against.
b. whites held all positions of power in south africa, even though they were a minority in the population.
c. all races had the right to vote in south africa, but white citizens tended to win elections.
d. although some discrimination existed, non-whites participated in all aspects of society.

Choice B will be the correct answer because during  Apartheid  in South Africa, whites who were the minority, held all positions of power in the country. Apartheid was principally a political and social system applied by the white minority ruling in South Africa, to keep the population separated.  In other words, racial segregation in which the people were divided by race and forced to live apart from each other.

The law or system was designed to deny the the black majority in the country access to most areas were whites were living and working. A special permit was required for blacks to be in these areas. Whites strongly enforced these laws, and did not allow any blacks to have any position of power within the white ruling party and the country.

Fortunately, Apartheid was abolished in 1994, by the approval of a new constitution which eliminated the established segregation system. Frederick Willem de Klerk was the last president under this system and credited with ending Apartheid in South Africa. After, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa, and thanks to the efforts of both men in ending Apartheid, they received the Nobel  Peace Prize.
