Anella Mejia · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Culture has four basic characteristics, one of which is that it is adapted to specific conditions r/t environmental and technical factors and to the availability of natural resources. The other three characteristics are: (1) learned from birth through the processes of language acquisition and socialization; (2) shared by all members of the cultural group; and (3) dynamic and ever changing. Culture is not static and unchanging but is dynamic and ever changing. Members of a culture do not necessarily share similar physical characteristics. Sharing similar physical characteristics refers to race. Members of a culture do not necessarily share a common geographic origin and religion. Sharing a common geographic origin and religion refers to ethnicity.
