• Option B: Institutional prejudice is about negative attitudes within institutions, not the unequal treatment itself.
• Option C: Personal discrimination is individual - based, not group - based in societal institutions.
• Option D: Racism is a form of prejudice/discrimination based on race, but the question is about a more general concept of group unfair treatment in institutions.
