Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Gans specifically uses the term nostalgic to describe this attitude, indicating that it is a sentimental attachment to a culture that may not be fully practiced or incorporated into one's daily life. This fits with the concept of symbolic ethnicity, which involves embracing aspects of one's ethnic identity as a symbol of heritage or tradition rather than a fully integrated part of one's identity or behavior. The other options do not accurately describe this attitude.
