Tiger Woods identifies himself as

• A. African American
• B. Asian American
• C. Cablinasian
• D. Multiracial

Answer: (C)

The main idea is how someone with a mixed racial background names their own identity to reflect multiple heritages rather than picking one single category. Tiger Woods created and popularized the term Cablinasian to describe his four-part heritage: Caucasian, Black, Indian, and Asian. He uses this self-chosen label to acknowledge all parts of his background—his father is African American, and his mother has Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry—without being forced into a single racial box. This makes it the best answer because it directly conveys his multiethnic identity in one unique term that he introduced himself. The other options point to only one aspect of his background or a generic “multiracial” idea that doesn’t capture the specific label he chose.
