Which term refers to the biological interbreeding of two or more peoples of distinct physical appearances until they become one stock?

• A. Consanguine
• B. Amalgamation
• C. Conjugal family
• D. Bureaucracy

Answer: (B)

Amalgamation is the idea of blending two or more racial or ethnic groups through intermarriage and offspring, producing a new mixed stock. It specifically captures the biological mixing of populations and the creation of a blended population that isn’t identical to either parent group. The other terms don’t describe this process: consanguine relates to blood relation or kinship, a conjugal family refers to a household formed by marriage, and bureaucracy is about organizational administration.
