Answer
(B) Santiago dislikes cheerleaders.
Spoiler
Explanation
A prejudice is an attitude, while discrimination involves an action. Santiago has a negative attitude or prejudice toward cheerleaders. Billy and Mr. Tamp are engaging in discrimination by acting differently toward different groups of people. Athena may be really fast or overconfident, but she is not evidencing a prejudice. Ginny’s belief that all Asians are smart is a stereotype that may or may not lead her to have some kind of prejudice against Asians.
