The visible act, or consideration to act, in favor of or against a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs to rather than on individual merit or value.

• A. Perspective
• B. Discrimination
• C. Social Bias
• D. Assumptions

Answer: (B)

This describes discrimination: making a decision about someone based on the group they belong to rather than their individual abilities or qualities. It covers acting in favor of or against a person simply because of their membership in a group, rather than evaluating them on their own merit. Social bias refers to an underlying attitude or prejudice, which can influence behavior but isn’t the action itself. Assumptions are beliefs about someone that may not be based on evidence or behavior. Perspective is a viewpoint, not a specific action toward someone based on group membership. So the visible act or consideration to act rooted in group membership is discrimination.
