Hint: As we know we all are living in society. Society itself has not a small word. Society gives us identity, respect, and many other things. Because of society, our life is going smoothly. As we know our neighborhood is the best example of society.

Complete answer:
The simplest definition of society is a well-organized group of people associated jointly for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, educational, or other intentions. Societies are differentiated on the basis of the relationship between the person who shares a distinctive culture and institution. There are many types of societies. Historically types of societies have been hunting-and-gathering, horticultural, pastoral, agricultural, industrial, and postindustrial.

 A society that has similar kinds of people, especially where there are no significant ethnic differences is called a homogenous society. It is a society in which all the people in the group have strikingly similar personality attributes and tastes. They have the same group, language, culture, religion, color, caste. Hence they lead a similar lifestyle. The foremost disadvantage of a homogeneous society is the minority group may sense that they are being separated but it’s not always true but on the other side a part of the majority group may imagine that their culture and languages are being polluted by the foreign culture.

Thus, the answer is option C i.e, Homogeneous society.

Note: Nowadays, homogeneous societies are changing rapidly under the influence of migrants. Not a single society is homogeneous perfectly but the best examples are The Japanese society, a few tribal groups in Africa namely the Zulu tribe Africa, and the Yoruba tribe in South & Nigeria accordingly. Primarily disadvantage of society is lacking understanding of other groups and they are highly traditionalist.
