Answer 2

D. Salsa dancing becomes popular in Miami, Florida, due to a large Latino population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural diffusion is the name given to a process by which cultural traits are spread from one region to another one. This includes items such as ideas, styles, religions, technology, languages etc. Cultural items can be spread by direct contact between different cultures, as well as by groups of one culture inhabiting in a different one (such as a diaspora). In this example, the fact that a large Latino population lives in Miami allows them to bring some of their cultural characteristics to the country, such as salsa dancing.
