Which scenario best illustrates cultural diffusion?

• A. A government policy restricting migration.
• B. A traditional dish appearing in another country's cuisine due to migration.
• C. A country closing borders to all trade.
• D. A local festival using only local ingredients.

Answer: (B)

Cultural diffusion happens when ideas, customs, or practices spread from one culture to another through contact and exchange. In this scenario, a traditional dish appearing in another country's cuisine because of migration shows diffusion clearly: people move, bring their food traditions with them, and others adopt and adapt those dishes, blending culinary practices across cultures. The other options depict barriers to diffusion or preservation of local practices, not the spread of cultural elements. This is why the dish migrating and becoming part of another cuisine is the best illustration.
