The term minority group typically refers to?:

  1. People who are privileged by a particular society

  2. People who are cast out of a particular society

  3. People who are not in the majority

  4. People who have different physical features

The correct answer is: People who are not in the majority

A minority group is defined as a group of people within a society who possess certain characteristics or traits that distinguish them from the dominant or majority group. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the definition of a minority group. Option A refers to privileged individuals, which would be part of the majority group. Option B refers to people being cast out of society, which could be any group, not just a minority group. Option D refers to physical features, which is also not necessarily tied to being in the minority.
