Answer:

A. Ethnocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnocentrism makes reference to a term that describes the cultural or ethnic bias in wich someone can only see the world from the perspective of his own culture. In this way, this person judges different groups or cultures based on his own values and norms, a preconception of what is acceptable and what is not is established. This is an obstacel in understanding and learnign from another culture, it usually leads to the belief that one's own culture is superior. It is important to say that ethnocentrism can be in a concious or uncoincious way.

In this case Arlana needs to learn that the rules applied in her culture are not the same to everyone.
