It is definitely "B" by the definition of minority, and could also be "A", "C" and "D"

Every Person is a Minority, Think about it.
- Experience unequal treatment - don't you feel someone is always being treated better.
- Are out numbered by the dominant group - You are one but there are many.
- Speak a different language than the dominant group - You may say something to a group you think is clear but no one understands.
- Are members of a different religious group than the dominant group - even if belifs are very close you always have your own oppinion.
So why do people complain when we are all affected.

While A, C, and D are true in many cases, only B is necessarily true. Being outnumbered by the dominant group is the very definition of a minority group.
