Question

the social connections linking human beings who engage in different production tasks and who must work together are called

○ means of production

○ mode of production

○ relation of production

○ subsistence strategy

Explanation:

• Means of production: Refers to the tools, machinery, land, etc., used in production, not social connections.
• Mode of production: Encompasses the combination of forces (e.g., technology) and relations of production. The question specifically asks about social connections (relations), so this is too broad.
• Relation of production: Correct. It specifically refers to the social relationships (connections) between people engaged in production tasks who need to work together.
• Subsistence strategy: Focuses on how a group meets its basic needs (e.g., hunting - gathering, agriculture), not social production connections.

Answer:

relation of production
