b. they wrote a new constitution which granted more rights to all south africans.
c. they formed alliances with the allied powers during world war ii.
d. they created apartheid laws to limit the rights of black south africans.

Explanation:

White South Africans maintained power through apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination. Apartheid laws restricted the rights and freedoms of black South Africans, ensuring white - minority rule. South Africa was already independent before 1948, and the new constitution and alliances with Allied powers during WWII were not related to maintaining power over the country's government in the context of racial dominance.

Answer:

D. They created apartheid laws to limit the rights of black South Africans.
