Correct Answer:

Minority is perceived only in terms of religion

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: Minority is perceived only in terms of religion

  • Minority groups are not defined only by religion. They can be based on language, ethnicity, culture, or even gender. So, perceiving minorities only in religious terms is incorrect.

The other statements are true:

  • They are a disadvantaged group – True. Minorities often face social, economic, or political disadvantages.

  • They have strong in-group solidarity – True. Shared experiences of discrimination or exclusion often lead to strong internal unity.

  • They are numerically less compared to others – True. The term “minority” usually refers to smaller population groups compared to the majority.
