Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "Homelands were rural communities where thousands of black South Africans were forced to relocate".

Explanation:

In the 1950s the National Party-led government in South Africa began consolidating the apartheid, which allowed racial discrimination and injustice towards black people. As a result, South Africa's homelands became rural communities at which black South Africans were forced to move from their homes. These Forced Removal events were particularly numerous and infamous when the Group Areas Act was enacted.
