Answer
A
an individual distances himself from his cultural background
B
an individual views their culture as more important than others
C
an individual benefits from the advantages of her social class
D
an individual unintentionally discriminates against someone else

Explanation

Internalized oppression occurs when someone absorbs negative messages about their own marginalized group. One possible result is rejecting or distancing themselves from their cultural background, so “an individual distances himself from his cultural background” is the best answer. Discrimination can have many causes, so it is less specific to internalized oppression.
