Answer:D. Cultural imposition

Explanation:

Cultural imposition is when someone believes everyone from a diffrent culture from theirs should conform to this person's culture because they believe their culture is better than this of the other person. A person may want to see other people adopting values and patterns of the culture they think is better.

This 50 year old clearly thinks or believes people should convert or adopt the pattern of how people in her culture dress up. She thinks hers is a better way, which happens to most of us when we judge other cultures as not better when compared to ours and we always feel they need to change and adopt our better culture.
