Answer 1

Option 1: Ethnicity is related to culture; race is related to biological ancestry.

This is the correct answer. Ethnicity refers to the cultural characteristics and practices that distinguish a particular group of people, such as their language, customs, traditions, and beliefs. Race, on the other hand, refers to a person's biological heritage and is typically categorized based on physical attributes such as skin color, hair texture, and facial features. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings.
