XII. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to

Vietnam is home to 54 ethnic groups, with the Kinh people making up the
majority of the population. The remaining 53 ethnic minorities, such as the Tay,
Thai, H'Mong, and Khmer, have distinct languages, traditions, and lifestyles.
Many of these groups reside in remote mountainous regions, where they
maintain their unique cultural identities despite modernization.
The ethnic minorities contribute significantly to Vietnam’s cultural diversity.
They celebrate various festivals, practice traditional crafts, and engage in
subsistence farming. Although their customs differ from those of the Kinh
majority, they are all part of Vietnam’s rich heritage. However, due to
geographical challenges and economic conditions, many ethnic minority
communities face difficulties in accessing education and healthcare.
Over the years, the Vietnamese government has implemented policies to
improve the living conditions of ethnic minorities. Programs focused on
infrastructure development, education, and healthcare have been introduced to
reduce economic disparities. Additionally, efforts to preserve indigenous
languages and cultural practices have been emphasized to ensure these
communities retain their identities while integrating into modern society.
Despite these initiatives, ethnic minorities still encounter obstacles such as
poverty and limited access to resources. Many young people from these groups
migrate to urban areas in search of better opportunities, which sometimes
leads to the erosion of traditional ways of life. Nonetheless, preserving and
supporting ethnic minority cultures remains a priority in Vietnam’s
development efforts.

A. The economic development of Vietnam
B. The challenges and contributions of ethnic minorities in Vietnam

healthcare?
