Answer 1

A. public places were segregated by race, and there was widespread discrimination against non-whites

Explanation:

• Apartheid was a social system, implemented by the ruling white minority in South Africa in the 20th century. By apartheid, the black majority was segregated and denied political and economic equality with whites.
• In 1949 a law was passed that banned mixed marriages. In 1950, a law was introduced under which a white person was held criminally liable if he had sex with another race.
• The introduction of apartheid policy was made possible by the 1950 Census Act. Apartheid imposed a classification of its population as "white," "black," and "colored." The classification criteria included, among others: origin, appearance and customs. Later, a fourth category of "Asians" was added, which were previously listed as "colored".
• The apartheid system was strengthened by a series of laws from the 1950s. Land laws of 1954 and 1955 prohibited non-whites from entering certain areas. These laws further restricted the rights of black Africans to own land, extending white minority control over nearly 80% of South Africa's terrain.
• Only whites had the right to vote in the elections (afterwards the right was extended to the colored ones).
