The option that best describes the demographic changes that occurred in Kazakhstan under the Soviet Union is:

Kazakhs became a minority group in Kazakhstan.

During the Soviet period, significant immigration of ethnic Russians and other groups into Kazakhstan occurred, leading to a decline in the proportion of Kazakhs in their own country, ultimately resulting in Kazakhs becoming a minority in terms of the overall population.
