參考答案【正確答案：C】
推理題。根據(jù)題干中的信號詞one of the most significant changes和in the past decade定位到第二段倒數(shù)第二句：There has been a sea change over the last 10 years。文章下一句對 a seachange 進行解釋說明：Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education。根據(jù) usedto可以推斷，a sea change就是marketing在高等教育領域里的地位變化。因此, C選項為正確答案。
