B. Xenocentrism
C. Moral relativism
D. Ethnocentrism

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is : D. Ethnocentrism

Explanation:

Ethnocentrism is a term used to describe an act of judgement and evaluation of another culture or ethnic group with reference to the preconceptions of one's own ethnic group or culture especially in terms of the language, customs, food, beliefs and religion. Therefore, ethnocentrism is a belief that one's ethnic group is superior in comparison to others and thus all the other ethnic groups are rated with reference to their own superior group.
