    Answer: E. None of the above

    Explanation: Affirmative action is the a set of policies or programs providing advantages for people of a group who are seen to have traditionally been discriminated against. Affirmative action may be used on behalf of the following groups: African-Americans, women, Pacific Islanders, disabled persons etc. The policy focuses on human populations who have historically had low representation in positions of leadership, professional roles, academics etc. and therefore aims to increase the number of people from these groups within companies, institutions, or any other areas of the society.
