Solution

The correct answer is C. assimilation.

Assimilation is a process in which a minority group or culture comes to resemble a society's majority group or assume the values, behaviors, and beliefs of another group. In this case, people may change their ethnicity (cultural practices, language, etc.) to fit into the majority, but they cannot change their race, which is typically understood as a set of physical characteristics.
