Solution
The correct option is B Philistine
The sentence states that the uncle has never been to an art museum, from which we may infer that he knows little or nothing about art. 'Philistine' means 'apersonwhoislackinginorindifferenttoculturalvalues,intellectualpursuits,aestheticrefinement,etc.' 'Patrician' is 'a person of refined upbringing and manners'. 'Martyr' is 'a person who suffers for the sake of principles/ideals/beliefs' and 'hedonist' is ' motivated by desires for sensual pleasures.' Since art is related to aesthetic refinement, the best answer is option B.
