Explanation:

The passage discusses how table manners (a part of cultural etiquette) differ across various cultures (like tribal nations, Japanese, Indian, Middle Eastern, etc.) due to cultural variations. Option A states that cultural etiquette is as diverse as cultural traditions, which aligns with the passage's focus on diverse cultural practices in eating. Option B is incorrect as the passage doesn't portray eating with hands as messy/rude (e.g., Indian culture's hand - eating is a tradition, not labeled as such). Option C is wrong because the passage emphasizes cultural diversity, not cultural superiority/inferiority (no claim of some cultures being more primitive). Option D is incorrect as the passage is about cultural differences in eating, not about developed/underdeveloped nations.

Answer:

A. cultural etiquette is as diverse as cultural traditions.
