Answer:

D. the meaning of the story became lot as the original meanings of the English words could not be easily translated.

Explanation:

Anthropologist Laura Bohannan set out on a quest to prove that all humans had a universal view of matters. To prove that she went to the Tiv people in Nigeria with the classical story of Hamlet. First, her attempt to translate the story to Tiv met with some difficulties primarily because the original meanings of the English words ere hard to identify in the Tiv vocabulary.

Secondly, she also found that the Tiv people had their own interpretation of the classical text and this was based on their customs and traditions. This disproved the notion that people from all walks of life have a universal understanding of matters.
