Interactions that involve two or more cultures are described by which term?

• A. Intercultural
• B. Multicultural
• C. Intercultural communication
• D. Cross-cultural

Answer: (D)

Interactions between two or more cultures are described as cross-cultural. This term emphasizes exchanges and activities that occur across cultural boundaries, capturing how people from different backgrounds engage with one another. It’s broader than simply having multiple cultures in one setting (multicultural) and broader than the process of communicating across cultures (intercultural communication), which focuses more on how people convey and interpret messages across differences.
