Answer:B. White privilege

Explanation:

White privilege refers to privileges that are received by white people just based on their skin color whilst the people who are non whites living under the same society , political and economical system don't get the same privileges.

It dates back to racism and bias ideas concerning which race is more important than the other.

It can be the fact that the police officer looked at Alexander being white and thought based on a stereotype that he hasn't done this before or he doesn't usually do this unless he has a reason however he may feel that Christopher probably do this all the time, advantages of being white for Alexander worked on his favour.

What do you mean by sustainable development?​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The concept of sustainable development can be interpreted in many different ways, but at its core is an approach to development that looks to balance different, and often competing, needs against an awareness of the environmental, social and economic limitations we face as a society.

All too often, development is driven by one particular need, without fully considering the wider or future impacts. We are already seeing the damage this kind of approach can cause, from large-scale financial crises caused by irresponsible banking, to changes in global climate resulting from our dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources. The longer we pursue unsustainable development, the more frequent and severe its consequences are likely to become, which is why we need to take action now.
