Answer 1

Answer:

Intersectionality.

Explanation:

The term intersectionality was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw is a social activist and legal scholar.  

The term intersectionality tends to help one identify the prevailing overlapping oppressions based on sexism, racism, gender, poverty, etc. She defined the term intersectionality as stated in the question.  

This term can be better understood with the help of an example. For example, a black man who is poor will live a less privileged life and will have to face discrimination based on color.  

So, the correct answer is intersectionality.
