• "discrimination" (correct, as redlining systematically denies services based on race/neighborhood)

Redlining historically prevented minority families from buying homes in certain neighborhoods, which severely restricted their ability to build generational wealth and equity. This practice directly contributes to "wealth inequality" (or "housing inequality" / "segregation" depending on standard curriculum options for this historical topic). In US History contexts, the standard completion for this curriculum question is "wealth inequality" or "residential segregation".
