Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Being treated like a star doesn't reflect the impact of racism (racism would involve unfair treatment), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Jesse Owens was a successful runner in college, and there's no indication he was prevented from running due to his race, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Jesse Owens was successful in his athletic pursuits in college but faced racial discrimination (unfair treatment) like being excluded from certain facilities or events despite his success, which matches the effect of racism.
• Option D: Struggling to pay tuition and working jobs is an economic challenge, not related to racism, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. He was successful, but treated unfairly because of his race.
