clear selection

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on Karl Marx's theory of class struggle and social change:

• The first option describes society working together for stability, which aligns more with functionalist theory (like Durkheim's ideas) rather than Marx's focus on class struggle driving change.
• The second option involves a protest movement against unequal wealth distribution (a key aspect of class struggle, as Marx emphasized the conflict between the capitalist class and the working class) and advocating for systemic change, which matches how class struggle influences social change according to Marx.
• The third option focuses on racial/ethnic discrimination, which is related to race - based issues rather than class struggle.

Answer:

B. A protest movement erupts in response to unequal wealth distribution, challenging the dominant capitalist class and advocating for systemic change.
