Which of the following statements best outlines the interrelationship between the perspectives of Martineau, Durkheim and Marx?
A) Both Martineau and Durkheim generalize about everyday forms of social interaction in order to explain society as a whole while Marx considers how the status quo is established and maintained and who benefits and who suffers from the existing system.
B) Martineau shares Marx's attention to inequality, going beyond its focus on social class to address the role of gender in creating and sustaining inequality. In this regard Martineau has little in common with Durkheim who shares Marx's focus on analyzing large-scale, society-wide patterns of social behaviour.
C) Durkheim and Marx both focus on maintaining stability in society and consensus among members of the society while Martineau emphasizes the distribution of power and the allocation of resources among the members of a society.
D) Marx focuses on an analysis of social order, Durkheim focuses on an analysis of social inequality, and Martineau incorporates each of these themes into her perspective with an extended focus addressing the role of gender inequality.
