Explanation:

• First question: Systemic racism refers to institutionalized discrimination. It is not about eliminating prejudice (a is wrong), voluntary assimilation (b is wrong) which is more about cultural blending, and not temporary segregation (d is wrong as systemic implies long - term and ingrained).
