    A). People of color often hide their identity due to the negative expectations of society.

    Explanation:

    The poem 'Jabari Unmasked' authored by Nikki Grimes primarily deals with the theme of 'unfair judgments based on physical appearance and skin color' that often leads individuals to develop a sense of inferiority themselves and they begin to hide their true identity. The speaker (being a colored individual) adopts a frustrating tone towards the injustices bore by them due to the color of their skin which is reflected when he says 'our color works to camouflage our/character and promise' (implying their color hides their skills and identity) and 'agile minds, the wit that sits behind our cheeks ... who'd guess that some of us are geeks.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.
