B: Age Based Discrimination
C: Religion Based Discrimination
D: Racial Discrimination

The answer is: D

Explanation

The term apartheid is related to racial discrimination.

Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, people were classified into different racial groups (white, black, Indian, and coloured) and were subjected to different laws and treatment based on their race. The system was designed to maintain the political and economic power of the white minority in South Africa, and it resulted in widespread human rights abuses, including forced relocation, imprisonment, torture, and extrajudicial killings.

The term apartheid comes from the Afrikaans word meaning "separateness" or "apartness," and it was first used in South Africa in the 1930s to describe the system of racial segregation that was being implemented by the white minority government.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is D: Racial Discrimination.
