O

"A distinct group that lived or worked together within a larger community" best describes an enclave.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

An area is a region that is encircled by another state's territory. There may also be enclaves within territorial waters. Enclave is often used inappropriately to signify a territory only partially surrounded by a different state.

An ethnic enclave is a group (generally founded by immigrants) that has retained a clear national or ethnic identity, tightly clustered within a particular neighborhood. When a community creates its own neighborhood, and depends on an economic survival system of interconnected businesses is understood as enclave minority.
