B
a White person not worrying about their skin color preventing them from getting a home loan
C
a White person voting for a White candidate primarily because he is White and his opponent is not
D
a Black person being asked to pose for a social media post for the company they work for because of their skin color

Explanation

Unconscious White privilege refers to an unearned advantage that White people may take for granted, such as not having to worry that their race will affect access to housing or loans. Choice B describes that lack of concern. Choice C describes a conscious choice based on race, rather than an unrecognized advantage.
