Explanation:

Question 6

The bourgeoisie, in Marxist theory, refers to the class that owns the means of production and is wealthy. Option A is the proletariat (working class), C is unemployed people, D is government workers which is not the bourgeoisie. So B is correct.

Sociological imagination is the ability to link personal troubles to public issues (larger social forces). A is about imagining a better society (not the definition), B is emotional intelligence, D is about social experiments. So C matches the definition.

Max Weber's Verstehen is about understanding social behavior from the perspective of those involved (empathic understanding). A is statistical analysis, B is non - judgmental observation (not Verstehen), D is prediction. So C is correct.

Answer:

B. The wealthy class that owns the means of production
