Answer: (B) hostile prejudice

Explanation:

Hostile prejudice is known to be a show of intense dislike and detest for someone or group of individuals which is unjust and unfavorable. It happens due to untrue and negative belief about a group of people which thereby result in unfair treatment and discrimination to all the members of the group. Thus, it is targeted towards people as a result of race, gender, religion and so on.
