The correct answer is the southern United States. To determine this, we can analyze the options given and consider what constitutes a cultural region. A cultural region is an area that shares common cultural traits, such as language, customs, traditions, and beliefs. NAFTA is not a cultural region but an economic agreement between Mexico, Canada, and the United States. Asia is a continent consisting of multiple countries and diverse cultures, rather than a specific cultural region. The state of New York is a geopolitical region within the United States and does not represent a distinct cultural region on its own. Therefore, the only option that fits the criteria of a cultural region is the southern United States.
