Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option A.

It prevented non white South Africans from fully participating in politics.

Explanation: In 1946 the National party gained power in South Africa and applied all existing law of Apartheid for racial segregation.

The white dominant government imposed various laws determining the racial segregation. They separated the area of white and non white South Africans. The marriage was prohibited between the white and colored people. Moreover a  series of land act forced the non white South Africans to sell their lands to the white farmers at a low price and to move their designed land Bantustan.

So the black South Africans were completely removed from the all kind of national activities as they were supposed to be apart from the white people.As a result there was less voting right of non white South Africans, They were not able to take part actively in politics. They were only able to mass protest on the road. They were prevented strictly the white government.

Therefore,it can be said that the Apartheid policy in South Africa prevented non white South Africans from fully participating in politics.
