The correct answer is: Marginalization.

Explanation:

Marginalization is a pattern of acculturation that can be understood as the negative of an individual to get involved in a new culture may be due to discrimination from the individuals of said culture, combined with the abandonment of his previous culture of origin.

This strategy causes individuals to suffer the highest levels of acculturative stress, which can lead to certain negative behaviors such as substance abuse and even su/icide.

In conclusion, the pattern of acculturation that tends to produce the highest level of acculturative stress is Marginalization.
