I know it's either the melting pot or salad bowl one, but I'm not sure which from there. I'm pretty sure they were both used to describe countries as different cultures, but I don't remember which one was the one for America. I THINK it was the melting pot..... But I'm really not sure. Sorry.

The theory of America as a country of different cultures is the melting pot theory. The melting pot metaphor originates from fusing together of melted metal material. The different cultural diversity is a result of immigration of other nationalities to create a new big culture. Answer then is A.
