b. ethnocentrism

Explanation:

In sociology, the term ethnocentrism refers to the fact of judging other people's culture and values based on our own culture and therefore, not being able to understand them but rather judge them since ethnocentrism often involves considering one's own culture to be "better" than the other ones.

In this example, Lucinda hears about the common practice of Nordic parents of leaving babies outside restaurants. In this culture this is an accepted practice. However, Lucinda, who belongs to another culture concludes that Nordic parents are neglectful and that should be arrested. We can see that she is not understanding this practice and it's judging it based on her own culture. Therefore this is an example of ethnocentrism.
