Which of the following is a minority ethnic group in several countries despite occopying a large area of the region?
(1 point)
A.Jews
B.Persons
C.Kurds
D. Turks
C. Kurds
The minority ethnic group that occupies a large area of the region but is still considered a minority in several countries is the Kurds (option C).
The correct answer is C. Kurds.
To arrive at this answer, we need to evaluate each option:
A. Jews: While Jews are an ethnic group, they do not necessarily occupy a large area of a specific region as stated in the question. Additionally, the term "minority ethnic group" typically refers to a group facing social, political, or economic disadvantage compared to the majority population, which may not apply to Jews in several countries.
B. Persons: The term "persons" in this context is too broad. It refers to individuals in general and does not represent a specific minority ethnic group.
C. Kurds: The Kurds are an ethnic group primarily located in the Middle East, across several countries such as Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Despite occupying a significant area in the region, they face minority status and have experienced various forms of discrimination and challenges in these countries.
D. Turks: Turks are an ethnic group primarily from Turkey and the surrounding regions. While they may be the majority ethnic group in Turkey, they do not fit the criteria of a minority ethnic group in several countries.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Kurds.
