Question 46 • World History

South Africa’s Population Registration Act of 1950

Answer
A
combined several Black and white communities.
B
removed all racial categories from government.
C
created a race-based classification system.
D
led to the relocation of 600,000 white citizens.

Explanation

The Population Registration Act of 1950 classified South Africans by race, creating categories such as white, Black, and Coloured. These classifications formed a foundation for apartheid laws and policies. It did not remove racial categories or combine communities, and the figure of 600,000 white citizens relocated does not describe the act.
