D. i. and iii

Explanation:

Kenya's politics has been characterized since independence in 1963 by a highly centralized presidentialist regime, although the multiparty democratic constitution is nominally respected. In fact, the KANU was the majority party and in 1982 the National Assembly amended the constitution, making the country one-party. This state of affairs lasted until 1991, when the Assembly repealed that provision, but in the 1992 and 1997 elections, President Daniel Arap Moi and KANU held respectively the presidential and majority positions in Parliament. South Africa is a constitutional democracy, in the form of a parliamentary republic; unlike most parliamentary republics, the posts of head of state and head of government are merged into a president dependent on parliament. It is one of the few African countries that have never gone through a coup or entered a civil war after the decolonization process, in addition to having regular elections being held for almost a century. The vast majority of South African blacks, however, were completely emancipated only after 1994, after the end of the apartheid regime. During the twentieth century, the black majority struggled to regain their rights, which were suppressed for decades by the white minority, dominant politically and economically, a struggle that played a large part in the country's recent history.

Answer from: Quest

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
