When translating a Japanese novel for an American audience, which outcome represents a domestication strategy to enhance reader engagement?

A)Maintaining Japanese honorifics and cultural references
B)Including detailed footnotes explaining Japanese customs
C)Using literal translations of idiomatic expressions
D)Adapting cultural references for American familiarity

💡 Explanation

Domestication seeks to reduce the foreignness of the source text; it achieves this by adapting it to the target culture. Therefore, adapting cultural references increases accessibility, rather than preserving original foreign elements because that increases cognitive load.
