Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
An ethnic enclave is a residential area where a particular ethnic minority is concentrated, often with its own businesses and cultural practices. In this case, Giovanni's neighbourhood has many stores with signs in Italian and a high concentration of Italian speakers, indicating that it is an ethnic enclave. The other options (mosaic, melting pot, and ghetto) do not accurately describe Giovanni's neighbourhood.
