b
social media spreads trends worldwide
c
international trade introduces foreign foods to local markets
d

Explanation:

Cultural divergence refers to the process where cultures become more distinct from each other. When communities resist adopting global technologies and maintain local customs, it leads to a divergence from global cultural trends. Options A, B, and C all involve processes that tend to spread global or foreign cultural elements (like global TV services, social - media trends, and foreign foods), which are more related to cultural convergence (cultures becoming more similar).

Answer:

D. Communities resist adopting global technologies and maintain local customs
