Social stratification refers to?:

  1. A type of organization in a society

  2. An economic system

  3. The unequal distribution of social privileges

  4. Systematic repression of certain societal roles

The correct answer is: The unequal distribution of social privileges

Social stratification refers to the unequal distribution of social privileges and opportunities among different groups or classes in society. This involves the ranking of individuals or groups based on their access to resources such as wealth, education, and power. Option A is incorrect because social stratification is not a type of organization, but rather a way of categorizing and organizing society. Option B is incorrect because social stratification is not just an economic system, but it encompasses all aspects of society. Option D is incorrect because social stratification does not necessarily involve repression, but rather unequal distribution of resources and opportunities.
