BMedieval times
CModern times
DPost-modern times
Correct answer: (A) Ancient times — Multiculturalism as a lived reality has existed since ancient times, so the answer is ancient times.
Explanation
★Multiculturalism as a lived reality has existed since ancient times, so the answer is ancient times.
★Many ancient empires and societies already contained diverse cultures, languages and religions.
★Plural living together is therefore far older than its modern political vocabulary.
★As a formal political doctrine, however, multiculturalism gained prominence only in recent decades.
★It emerged to handle migration, minority rights and identity in modern diverse democracies.
★So the practice is ancient while the explicit theory and policy are modern.
★This distinction between long practice and recent doctrine is what the question tests.
