Which statement about discrimination is true?

Correct answer C. Discrimination can only persist in a competitive labour market if customers are willing to pay to maintain the discriminatory practice or the government requires discrimination

Explanation

Competition punishes employers who discriminate by raising their costs. Discrimination survives only if customers reward it with higher payments or the law forces it, as with historical segregation rules.
