Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Ethnocentric refers to a company's or individual's belief in the superiority of their own culture or nationality, which may lead to offensive or insensitive behavior towards other cultures. In this case, the Chinese company is demonstrating ethnocentrism by not considering the cultural differences and sensibilities of the American audience.
