Answer:

(C) A voluntary urban community where people of similar origin reside

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnic neighborhoods are areas within cities that are predominantly one minority. Ethnic neighborhoods work as culture enclaves, where one culture is condensed into a region and surrounded by different cultures. One example of this includes Chinatown. Chinatown is an area in New York where Chinese people voluntarily live to be surrounded by people of similar backgrounds.
