What term describes the separation of people based on racial, ethnic, or other differences?

• A. Alienation
• B. Segregation
• C. La Francophonie
• D. International Court of Justice

Answer: (B)

Segregation is the practice of separating people based on racial, ethnic, or other differences. It describes policies or social practices that place groups apart and often deny equal access to housing, education, and public services. This makes it the best fit because it directly captures the idea of enforced separation by difference, whether through laws or social norms. Alienation, by contrast, is about feeling detached or estranged, not an organized system of separation. La Francophonie refers to French-speaking countries and communities, and the International Court of Justice is the UN's main judicial body, neither of which describe the separation of people by differences.
