Explanation
Answer: A - When an individual is refused medical care because of color discrimination, it belongs to civil law.
There are two main categories of law - civil and criminal. Criminal law covers the crimes against the society. Civil law covers the crimes against an individual.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes providing services more limited in scope or lower in quality, limiting participation in a program.
Contract law is also categorized as civil law, but is related to the agreements made between two or more parties.
Tort law involves wrongful conduct against a person.
