    Letter C is the correct answer.

    Microaggression is defined as a subtle but harmful behavior, comment or action that transmits a derogatory, hostile or negative message to a target person. A good example of microaggression happens when men whistle at and catcall women who are walking down the street. Microaggressions can be intentional or unintenional, but they make their victims feel uncomfortable or insulted. Marginalized people (such as women or people of color) are often targets of microaggressors.
