Question

select the correct answer.
according to max weber, what factor or factors are responsible for social stratification?
a. caste, prestige, and power
b. class, prestige, and power
c. only a persons prestige
d. only a persons economic position

Explanation:

Max Weber's theory of social stratification identifies three key factors: class (economic position), prestige (social honor), and power (ability to influence others). Option A mentions caste, which is more associated with traditional Indian social structure, not Weber's theory. Option C and D are incorrect as they only consider one factor, while Weber's theory uses three. Option B aligns with Weber's three - part model of class, prestige, and power.

Answer:

B. class, prestige, and power
