The process of immigration can be a great stressor for families coming to the United States.For example,in the United States,Hmong kinship networks of extended family relationships are limited as Hmong people are expected to adopt the nuclear family model.This pressure demonstrates that:

A) social service agencies are typically receptive to the culture of immigrant families
B) the definition of family is not the same across racial-ethnic groups,and the expectation to conform can take a toll on families
C) immigrants to the United States are mostly the same and can anticipate what changes to expect for their families in advance of migrating
D) the process of immigration,though stressful,does little to change the structure of families

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The pressure for Hmong families to adopt the nuclear family model in the United States demonstrates that the definition of family is not the same across racial-ethnic groups, and the expectation to conform can take a toll on families. This suggests that the immigration process can be stressful and can potentially change the structure of families. Option A is incorrect because the statement does not provide evidence that social service agencies are typically receptive to the culture of immigrant families. Option C is incorrect because the statement does not suggest that immigrants can anticipate the changes to expect for their families in advance of migrating. Option D is incorrect because the statement suggests that the process of immigration may have an impact on the structure of families.
