Answer 1

B
Ethnic groups have common origins, histories, and a collective identity despite the possibility that they come from different countries. Racial group members may come from widely variant backgrounds and share little or nothing in common.

Ethnic group members can come from many nations.
Physical traits may differ among members of various races, but this does not explain why ethnicity is a more relevant construct than race.
