Answer

A

Ethnic diversity has increased as new ethnic groups have formed.

B

Ethnic identification of different groups has declined as populations have become more homogeneous.

C

Ethnicity has been a source of pride and identification as well as a source of conflict among groups of people.

D

People have been less likely to reveal their ethnicity since the advent of the Internet, because it has little meaning in online communication.

Explanation

Ethnicity can give people a sense of identity and pride, while differences between ethnic groups can also contribute to conflict. This captures both positive and negative effects over the past 20 years. The other choices make broad claims that ethnic groups have disappeared, populations have become homogeneous, or the Internet has made ethnicity unimportant.
