While A is partially true (South Asians are one of the largest cultural groups in Canada, with over 1.6 million people identifying as South Asian), it is not the best choice as it does not fully describe the South-Asian Canadian group. B is false, as the largest number of South Asians in Canada live in Toronto. D is also false, as South Asians in Canada are relatively young, with a median age of 33. C is the best choice, as studies have shown that South Asians in Canada tend to associate and identify with their own sub-ethnic groups (e.g. Punjabi, Tamil), rather than as one monolithic group.
