   A.  Lower rates of divorce compared to individualistic cultures

Explanation:  The difference between collectivist and individualistic cultures lies in the understanding of the values, economic, geographical conditions and relationships of people with each other within those cultures.

In Western, i.e individualistic cultures, freedom of choice, love of a partner before marriage, dating are valued, people choose their partners themselves, but they can also freely choose not to live together again, i.e to divorce. Because of this, the urban and developed urban environments where many free people with free ideas can meet, no one has the traditional view that they have to live with someone all their lives. There are also economic conditions that contribute to the economic independence of individuals and therefore their ability to freely choose as they wish, not dependent on anyone.

In collectivist cultures, values are somewhat different, conditioned by economics, tradition, etc. In such cultures, there are traditional views of marriage, what the environment will say if someone divorces and the like. People thus live in a more or less similar everyday life where there is not much opportunity to meet someone new, unknown. Also, in such environments, marriages were arranged by the parents for their children much earlier, often for economic reasons, so there is no such infatuation and similar reasons for marriages as in Western cultures. In collectivist cultures, people are often directed at each other, over a long period of time, there is no significant flow of new people and situations, challenges, and tradition also plays a role that there is not much divorce in such cultures.
