To answer this question, we need to read the passage carefully and look for the information that relates to the origin of the term metaverse. 📖
- The passage mentions the origin of the term metaverse in paragraph 2, where it says: “The concept of the metaverse was popularized by the science fiction novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, published in 1992.” 📝
- Therefore, we can conclude that option C is the correct answer, as it matches the information given in the passage. ✅
- Option A is incorrect, as it is a false statement. Mark Zuckerberg is the CEO of Facebook, which recently announced its plan to build a metaverse platform, but he did not coin the term metaverse. ❌
- Option B is incorrect, as it is a false statement. Meta-analysis is a statistical method of combining data from multiple studies, and multiverse is a hypothetical concept of multiple universes. Neither of these terms have anything to do with the term metaverse. ❌
- Option D is incorrect, as it is a false statement. The term metaverse has no connection to ancient Greek philosophy, which dealt with topics such as metaphysics, ethics, logic, and politics. ❌
