which statement describes an effect of apartheid on the south african population?
a. all nonwhite south africans were enrolled in classes to learn to speak afrikaans.
b. white south africans were forced to vote in favor of antiapartheid reform.
c. nonwhite south africans were forced to live in segregated areas.
d. all south africans were required to give up their dutch or british citizenship.

Explanation:

Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa. Under apartheid, nonwhite South Africans (such as Black, Colored, and Indian people) were forcibly removed from their homes and forced to live in segregated areas (called bantustans or homelands).

• Option A is incorrect. There was no such universal enrollment for nonwhite South Africans to learn Afrikaans as a main - effect of apartheid.
• Option B is wrong. White South Africans were the ones who enforced apartheid, not forced to vote against it.
• Option D is incorrect. There was no such requirement for all South Africans to give up Dutch or British citizenship as a core effect of apartheid.

Answer:

C. Nonwhite South Africans were forced to live in segregated areas.
