Cloward and Ohlin proposed that lower-class boys have different opportunities in the form of three subcultures, which are criminal, conflict, and retreatist. The criminal subculture is characterized by predatory crimes, such as theft and burglary, and is primarily found in lower-class neighborhoods with a stable illegitimate opportunity structure. The conflict subculture emerges in unstable neighborhoods where both legitimate and illegitimate opportunities are limited, and violence is used as a means of achieving status and power. The retreatist subculture is made up of those who are unable to succeed in the other subcultures and withdraw from society through drug use or other forms of social withdrawal. Thus, the best choice is D.
