Which statement shows that, under the system of apartheid, the government of South Africa gave more privileges to whites than to blacks? A. South African blacks could not go everywhere whites went and held worse jobs. B. South African blacks were more likely to go to prison than whites were. C. Nelson Mandela was required to try cases of unequal rights for whites and blacks in South Africa.

The correct answer is A. South African blacks could not go everywhere whites went and held worse jobs.<br /><br />Under the system of apartheid in South Africa, the government enforced strict racial segregation and discrimination, granting more privileges and rights to the white minority while severely restricting the rights and freedoms of the black majority. This included limitations on where blacks could go and the types of jobs they could hold, which were generally of lower status and pay compared to those available to whites.
