The correct answer is option 'D' - More discriminatory laws were passed.

Explanation:

The changed attitude of the South African government refers to the shift in policies and actions that occurred during the dismantling of apartheid. This period saw significant reforms and concessions made by the government in response to internal and international pressures. While options a), b), and c) all reflect positive changes that took place, option d) stands out as the one that did not form part of the changed attitude.

Discriminatory laws were repealed:
- Under apartheid, South Africa had a legal system that enforced racial segregation and discrimination.
- The government, led by President F.W. de Klerk, began the process of dismantling apartheid in the late 1980s.
- Discriminatory laws such as the Population Registration Act and the Group Areas Act were repealed to eliminate racial segregation and discrimination.

Ban on political parties and media was lifted:
- The government lifted the ban on political parties that had been imposed under apartheid.
- This allowed various political organizations, including the African National Congress (ANC), to operate legally and participate in the political process.
- Media censorship was also relaxed, allowing for greater freedom of speech and expression.

Nelson Mandela was freed from imprisonment:
- Nelson Mandela, a prominent anti-apartheid activist and leader of the ANC, was imprisoned for 27 years.
- In 1990, President de Klerk released Mandela, signaling a major turning point in South African politics.
- Mandela went on to negotiate with the government and played a crucial role in the transition to democracy.

More discriminatory laws were passed (incorrect option):
- The South African government did not pass more discriminatory laws during the period of dismantling apartheid.
- Instead, the focus was on repealing existing discriminatory laws and implementing reforms to promote equality and non-discrimination.

In summary, while the South African government made significant changes to its policies and actions during the dismantling of apartheid, it did not pass more discriminatory laws. The correct answer is option 'D' - More discriminatory laws were passed.
