Hint:The discrimination on the basis of skin color or ethnic origin is known as Racial discrimination. Discrimination has been always done on various basis such as caste, creed, color, sex, origin etc. Various anti-discrimination laws have been made to restrict this practice and provide equality.

Complete answer:
Option A, Black color is mainly used for the representation of South Africans on a global basis. According to the 2011 Census report it was concluded that Africans are divided into various categories – there are Black South Africans which account for approximately 76.4% of the population, White South African account for around 9.1%, Colored South African account for 8.9%. Asian/Indian account for 2.5% and some unspecified account for 0.5%. So, it is the most appropriate answer.
Option B, Brown color is mainly used to represent the Near and Middle East portion which stretches near Southern Asia and Northern Africa including the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. This term is known by different names in different countries such as in Mexico and Philippines it is named ‘mestizo’ and in Brazil it is named ‘pardo’. So, it is not the correct answer.
Option C, White color is mainly used for the representation of Europeans and some of the prominent countries are the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. So, it is not the correct answer.
Option D, Red color is the representation of Native American in the United States and Canada people. It is sometimes also used as slang to represent them. So, it is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A, i.e. Black.
