D Correct answer
Explanation

'Globalisation' refers to the worldwide interconnectedness and integration of economies, cultures, and technologies. The passage discusses how this global phenomenon has affected human life. 'Universality' is the intended answer as it suggests something that exists or applies everywhere. However, this is not a perfect synonym - globalisation is a process, while universality is a quality. Among the options, 'Centralisation' and 'Multinationals' are clearly incorrect.
