C Correct answer
Explanation

A barbarian historically refers to someone from an uncivilized culture or someone who lacks refined cultural values and education. The word comes from the Greek 'barbaros' meaning foreign or uncivilized. 'Uncivilised' is the most accurate meaning. 'Arrogant' and 'impolite' are behavioral traits, not the core meaning. 'Amphibian' is a completely different biological category.
