Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Studies consistently show that Native American and Alaskan Native populations experience higher rates of sexual violence, including rape, than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States. This is believed to be linked to the long history of trauma and discrimination experienced by Indigenous communities. It is important to note that rape is a vastly underreported crime across all populations, and so the actual rates of sexual violence may be even higher than what is reflected in the data.
