Final answer:

The correct match among the given pairs is c. Monoculture homogenization, where monoculture leads to a reduction in diversity or homogenization. Assimilation often results in reduced diversity as it involves subordinate groups conforming to the identity of the dominant group, contrary to pluralism, which allows groups to retain their unique identities.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the options provided, c. Monoculture homogenization is correctly matched. Monoculture, the cultivation of a single crop in a given area, leads to homogenization, which is a reduction in diversity. This can refer to both agricultural practices as well as cultural phenomena where the variety is diminished as a dominant group influences or absorbs others.

Regarding intergroup relations, pluralism is a system in which multiple distinct ethnic, religious, or cultural groups coexist within society, retaining their own identities. In contrast, assimilation occurs when subordinate groups take on the characteristics of the dominant group, losing their original cultural identity over time.

Thus, 'Integration inequality' and 'Assimilation diversity' are not correct matches because integration speaks to the bringing together of different groups, which doesn't imply inequality, and assimilation typically decreases diversity. 'Marginalization equality' is also incorrect as marginalization refers to the treatment of a person, group, or concept as insignificant, which conflicts with the concept of equality.
