Answer 1

Answer:

b. people vary from culture to culture in five value categories

Explanation:

Geert Hofstede has given the cultural dimensions theory which is a cross-cultural communication framework. He has given five dimensions of culture including individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance index, long-term orientation, and masculinity.
