Answer:

The answer is (B) direct effect of racism on health status.

Explanation:

Race seems to play a role in affecting people`s health even if the socioeconomic status is controlled.

Racism has been suggested as one of the factors contributing with these health disparities through generating chronic stress that appears to accelerate cellular aging and lead to premature mortality.

Discrimination induced stress also leads to decreased mental health status, elevated blood pressure, and increased hypertension risk, fatigue, coronary artery calcification, uterine fibroids, and poor sleep.
