Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Aversive racism is characterized by individuals who hold negative attitudes and biases towards members of a particular racial group. These individuals may not believe they are racist and may even support principles of racial equality, but they still hold unconscious negative biases that can impact their behavior towards that group. This can result in subtle discrimination or avoidance of interaction with members of that group.
