Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A communicator needs to have a positive attitude towards different cultures, as well as the knowledge and skills to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. Technology may be helpful in certain situations, but it is not essential for cultural competency. Ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and stereotyping are all barriers to cultural competency, rather than tools to improve it.
