Answer 2

The correct option is (a)Stereotypes. The term that describes the fixed and inflexible characterizations of social groups is stereotypes.

• Stereotypes are fixed, oversimplified views or beliefs about a specific group of people that are based on that individual's social identities such as their race, ethnicity, gender, religion or nationality.
• Stereotypes are frequently supported by social, cultural and historical variables and are based on incorrect or incomplete information.
• These may result in prejudice, discrimination and unjust treatment of people based on membership in particular social groups.
• Moreover, stereotyping can cause social injustices to persist and exclude particular populations. To advance diversity, inclusivity and equality in society, it is critical to detect and overcome stereotypes.
