A) is mostly intraracial.
B) is mostly interracial.
C) is equally intraracial and interracial.
D) does not have any observable racial pattern.

Numerous studies have shown that the majority of homicides occur within racial/ethnic groupings. For example, African Americans are more likely to be murdered by other African Americans, and Caucasians are more likely to be murdered by other Caucasians. This pattern holds true for other racial/ethnic groups as well. Therefore, the correct answer is A, as murder is mostly intraracial.
