d. "Unlike race, ethnicity derives from biological differences among human groups."

Explanation:

Race are a group of people who have similar biological and social qualities. The biological similarities in the group are what defines the group.

Ethnicity if a group of people who have language or dialect, history, society, culture or nation common with each other. Biological differences can be present in people who belong to the same ethnicity.

Hence, race depends on biological factors while ethnicity does not.
