Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Conan, being Scottish, is more likely to be racially categorized as white, which is a broad category that encompasses various ethnic groups from Europe. This broader categorization might allow him more flexibility in identifying with different European ethnicities compared to the more specific racial and ethnic identities associated with the other options.
