A. active incinerators are located in areas with a high proportion of

minority residents.

Explanation:

The active incinerators should have no specific place where it can be placed. However the incinerators being placed in areas with a high population of minority residents due to them not being wealthy or having the resources is bad and is an example of environmental racism.

The minority citizens are discriminated with such actions taken in their vicinity. Their environment is then polluted with such activity while the environment of majority citizens are well taken care of.
