Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Ethnic enclaves are typically formed due to choice rather than discriminatory practices, whereas ethnic ghettos are often the result of oppressive government policy or discrimination. Enclaves also tend to allow for more integration and cultural exchange than ghettos, which can lead to segregation and isolation. It is not accurate to say that the terms are used differently in the United States and Canada, as both terms can be used in either country.
