Racial segregation was a reality in many countries.Answer & explanation
Answer: C) separation
Meaning: segregation = the enforced separation of one group from another, especially by race *(पृथक्करण, अलगाव)*.
separation = the act of keeping apart *(अलगाव, विभाजन)* — the same idea; *racial separation* is exactly what segregation laws did.
Why the others are wrong.
• integration = bringing groups together as equals *(एकीकरण)* — the direct antonym.
• education = teaching and learning *(शिक्षा)* — unrelated.
• desertion = abandoning a duty, post or person *(परित्याग)* — leaving, not keeping apart.
Word help.
racial = relating to race *(नस्ली, जातीय)*.
*Segregate comes from Latin grex, a flock — to set apart from the flock.*
