Explanation:

First Question (About Donnelly's Theory)

Diffusionism is a 19th - century theory that explains cultural similarities across different societies as a result of cultural diffusion (spread of cultural traits). Donnelly used this to explain parallels like pyramids in Mesoamerica and Egypt. Relativism is about cultural values being relative, Socialism is an economic - political theory, and Empiricism is about knowledge from experience, none of which fit for explaining cultural exchange parallels here.

Various theories have proposed different locations for Atlantis, including Antarctica, Crete, and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So the option "All of the answers are correct" is valid as all these locations have been proposed at some point.

Answer:

A. Diffusionism

Second Question (Location of Atlantis)
