Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Inherited nobility refers to a specific group with inherited titles, not the general variation in wealth and status across all families/individuals.
• Option B: Social stratification is the division of society into layers (strata) with differing wealth, status, and power. This directly explains the great variation in wealth and status among families and individuals.
• Option C: Specialization is about focusing on a particular task/area, not related to wealth and status variation.
• Option D: Genetic differences relate to biological traits, not social wealth and status variation.

Answer:

B. social stratification
