Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Racial homophily in religious life refers to people's tendency to seek out and associate with others who are like themselves, including racially or ethnically. This explains why our religious institutions are still so segregated despite the progress made since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. It is not due to nonwhite places of worship encouraging divisions or religious associations promoting racial or ethnic identities.
