Explanation
Answer - A - In terms of social geography, the correct term for differences that are based upon ethnic variations between different cultures or nations is race.

Key Takeaway: Race usually describes how humans are categorized into differing populations or ancestral groups, based upon sets of unique inherited characteristics. Typically, these characteristics are based on physical features, such as skin tone, cranial structure, facial features, and/or hair texture. It is interesting to note that the concept of race varies wildly among developed countries and cultures. In the United States, term race is usually used to describe an individual’s skin color. But in Italy, the term does not even apply to humans, only to animals.
