Explanation:

Question 9

• Option a: In - group favoritism often leads to the similarity effect (preferring those similar, in - group), so a is wrong.
• Option b: In - group favoritism isn't necessarily negative without power (e.g., small group bonding), so b is wrong.
• Option c: In - group favoritism means in - group members get preferential treatment, which can disadvantage non - dominant (out - group) members. This is correct.
• Option d: In - group favoritism still occurs in monitored organizations (subtle forms), so d is wrong.

• Option a: Discrimination is a defining characteristic of minorities (they face differential treatment), so a is wrong.
• Option b: Discrimination does limit economic opportunities of a group (e.g., hiring discrimination), so b is wrong.
• Option c: Discrimination (e.g., in access to resources, political participation) limits social and political opportunities of a group. This is correct.
• Option d: Experiencing discrimination often leads to group awareness (members recognize shared oppression), so d is wrong.

Answer:

c) can disadvantage non - dominant group members.
