Answer:

D) The phrase means something but would most likely be fully understood only by educators.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Cultivating interdisciplinary content" is a very common term in conversations between educators. Probably, people who do not work in the field of education would not understand the meaning of this term, but educators would know that "cultivating interdisciplinary content," refers to stimulating and propagating this type of content in their work environment.
