The process described is known as the invasion-succession cycle, where one group "invades" a neighborhood or area and gradually displaces the previous residents who have different racial, ethnic, or social class characteristics. This phenomenon is often observed in urban areas during gentrification or suburbanization. Choice B (invasion-dispersion) is not a correct term and choices C and D (acculturation-assimilation and acculturation-succession, respectively) do not accurately describe the process of group displacement based on differences in race, ethnicity, or social class.
