B

C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As such, and consistent with the literature on attitudes more broadly, prejudice is seen to have three components: cognitive, affective, and behavioral.

Detailed explanation-2: -A few commonplace examples of prejudice are those based on someone’s race, gender, nationality, social status, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation, and controversies may arise from any given topic.

Detailed explanation-3: -A prejudice is an opinion-usually an unfavourable one-that was formed before having any evidence and that is not based on reason or experience.
