Functionalism tends to focus on a consensus model to explain the social order (where everyone is on the same page about social life), while conflict theory argues that this does not reflect the way the world actually works. Symbolic interactionism, on the other hand, focuses on the role of symbols and interactions in shaping social life, rather than on macro-level structures like consensus or conflict. Therefore, the best choice is D - functionalism and conflict theory.
