During a debate about divorce rates, Charlie states that divorce rates are extremely high among Latin Americans. However, Simone argues otherwise and states that divorce rates are lower among most Latin communities. Which of the following is an accurate statement that strengthens Simone's argument?
(a)-The concept of "familism" ensures that most people do not consider divorce as an option even under extreme circumstances.
(b)-Since most Hispanic workers are undocumented, most people cannot apply for legal divorces, and hence "breakups" remain under the radar.
(c)-The assimilation of American behaviors has contributed to rising marriage rates and falling divorce rates.
(d)-The Latino population is on average a younger population compared to non-Latino populations.

Familism or familialism is a political ideology in which family is given the main priority. It is the social structure in which the need for the family is very important for an individual.

It is believed that by familism it means that family will take care and will protect and provide the needs of the members of the family rather than relying on to the government.

There is special or common attraction and bonding between the members of the family and they will not fall apart or leave each other in case of extreme circumstances. Rather in such situations, family will stand by with each other.

Thus, Simone's argument is stengthened by the following statement:

(a)-The concept of "familism" ensures that most people do not consider divorce as an option even under extreme circumstances.
