2. Generation Y

3. Baby Boomers

4. Millennials

The correct answer is: Generation Y

Echo Boomers is a term commonly used to refer to Generation Y, which includes individuals born approximately between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s to early 2000s. The term "Echo Boomers" specifically highlights that this generation followed the Baby Boomers, often seen as the children of Baby Boomers, hence the "echo" reference. Generation Y is characterized by their familiarity with technology and the internet, having been raised during a period of rapid technological advancement and significant global change. This demographic tends to be more liberal and open-minded in terms of perspectives on social issues, partly due to their varied experiences growing up. While Generation X and Baby Boomers relate to earlier cohorts, and Millennials often overlap with Generation Y, the term Echo Boomers distinctly identifies those raised by the Baby Boomers and captures the essence of their experiences and cultural influences growing up in the digital age.
