Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Ethnicity refers to a person's cultural background and can be based on shared traditions, beliefs, customs, and language. In this case, "Latino" is an ethnic identifier, indicating a person of Latin American origin or descent. The other options - Catholic, White, and Teacher - do not provide information about ethnicity.
