    The correct answer is letter "B": He bought into the notion of the global village.

    Explanation:

    Canadian philosopher and professor Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) coined the term "global village" referring to how the influence of television, computers, and electronic information is reducing distances. Nowadays, the term has broadened its definition to represent the impact technology, in general, has reduced barriers making the world become one single globalized marketplace.

    Thus, returning home from Quebec in less than six hours implied Jason taking on a plane to be present for his wife's labor, which shows how technology has shortened distances becoming a "global village".
