Question

select the correct answer.
which social categorization does a person have at birth?
a. ethnicity
b. race
c. poverty
d. intelligence

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Ethnicity): Ethnicity is about cultural heritage, which is not determined at birth in the same fixed way as race.
• Option B (Race): Race is a social categorization assigned to individuals at birth, often based on physical characteristics (though race is a social construct, the assignment happens at birth).
• Option C (Poverty): Poverty is an economic condition, not a fixed categorization at birth.
• Option D (Intelligence): Intelligence is multifaceted and not a social categorization assigned at birth.

Answer:

B. race
