Question :

The author gives all of the following reasons for why marginalised people are systematically discriminated against in technology-related interventions EXCEPT:

A.
"And we hardly question whether devices are built sustainably, which has led to a crisis of medical waste and health care accounting for 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions."
B.
"These racially based adjustments are derived from research done by eugenicists who thought these racial differences were biologically determined and who considered nonwhite people as inferior."
C.
"Beyond physical failings, subjective beliefs treated as facts by those in decision-making roles can encode social inequities."
D.

"But those technical ideals are at their core social and political choices determined by a dominant culture focused on economic growth for the most privileged segments of society."

Option is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

All options except A relate to why marginalised people are systematically discriminated against in technology-related interventions: racially-based adjustments are derived from research done by eugenicists, subjective beliefs treated as facts encodes social inequities and the supposed technical 'ideals' are determined by a culture focused on the privileged.
Option A, on the other hand, is about devices not being built sustainably. This is not relevant to discrimination of the marginalised.
