D Correct answer
Explanation

Diffusion is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the process by which cultural traits, beliefs, technologies, or practices spread from one society or social group to another through contact and interaction. Evolution refers to gradual development, assimilation is absorption into a dominant culture, and accommodation is adjustment without full adoption - none describe the spread process itself.
