Solution

The example of scapegoating in the options provided is C. People with low incomes are blamed for the housing market crisis instead of the bankers.

Scapegoating is the practice of blaming an individual or group for a problem or a negative situation instead of identifying and addressing the real cause of it. In this case, people with low incomes are being blamed for the housing market crisis, which is a complex issue likely caused by a variety of factors, including potentially the actions of bankers.
