what was harriet martineau’s contribution to sociology?
a. she wrote an analysis of american society.
b. she founded the american sociological society.
c. she started the first settlement house in america.
d. she helped formulate the functionalist theory of sociology.

Explanation:

Harriet Martineau's contribution to sociology includes writing an analysis of American society (her work "Society in America" analyzed American social structures). Option B is incorrect as the American Sociological Society was founded later by others. Option C is unrelated to her work. Option D: Functionalist theory was formulated by others like Durkheim, not Martineau's main contribution. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. She wrote an analysis of American society.
