Correct Answer
A. White skin color, male, and heterosexual

Explanation
In the United States, privilege is often associated with white skin color, being male, and being heterosexual. This is because historically, white individuals have held the most power and privilege in society, while people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals have faced discrimination and marginalization. This privilege is rooted in systemic racism, sexism, and heteronormativity, which have perpetuated inequalities and disparities in various aspects of life, such as education, employment, and access to resources.
