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 'a person who is lacking in or indifferent to cultural values, intellectual pursuits, aesthetic refinement, 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.
