Please read the passage and answer the question that follow.

A popular Bollywood movie 'Lagan' portrays India before Independence. Indians were ruled by the Britishers for many years. They were denied basic rights. The common and the lower strata of the society were not provided the privilege of education as the Britishers felt that 'Indians are not good enough'. They deliberately gave Indians less qualified jobs and kept highly qualified jobs for themselves.

Britishers deliberately gave Indians unqualified jobs. This shows _____, a behavioural component.

Discrimination

The correct answer is Option (2) → Discrimination

Discrimination is the behavioural component of an attitude. It involves acting unfairly or unequally towards individuals or groups based on prejudice or stereotypes. In the passage, the British deliberately gave Indians less qualified jobs, even though they may have been capable of more. This unfair treatment based on group identity (Indians) is a clear example of discrimination.
