None of the above

Explanation

Answers: A and B - Disliking someone because of skin color or stating a negative belief about someone because of sexual orientation is prejudicial. Prejudice, or pre-judging, is assigning a particular judgment to someone even though facts can disprove your belief. Noticing someone’s skin color is not prejudicial unless judgments are made based upon the skin color.
