D. The people in the country will give more importance to collectivism than to individualism.

E. The country, to further facilitate globalization, will commit to authoritarian ideologies.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Traditional values usually refer to very strict religious values and ways of political organization, e. g. Islamic countries still base their laws in the Sharia which are very strict religious laws.

Secular rational values are what we know as western values, the problem is that only a small part of the world shares our values. Besides North and South America, Australia + NZ, and a majority of European countries (not all) what we consider normal values are totally irrational, obscene, etc. in most of the world. But as the countries get richer, they should start to shift from traditional to more modern and secular values.
