  • B.Asking a boy not to cry as boys don't cry
  • C.Preventing a group of people from taking water from a common well
  • D.Not allowing a group of people to drink tea in same cups as others

Answer: B

The one that is not discrimination is asking a boy not to cry as boys don't cry.

Discrimination is acting on prejudice to treat people unequally, denying them opportunities or access that others have. Stopping someone from living in a neighbourhood, preventing a group from using a common well, and refusing to let them drink from the same cups as others all deny people something on the basis of who they are.

Telling a boy not to cry reflects a gender stereotype, a fixed idea of how boys should behave. It shapes behaviour but does not deny the boy any right or resource, which is why the key treats it as the exception.
