Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core of Marxist interpretation of social structure and change is the idea that conflict between socioeconomic classes is the primary driving force behind social change. Marxist theory argues that the capitalist system perpetuates class conflict, with the bourgeoisie (owners of the means of production) exploiting the proletariat (working-class laborers) to generate profit. This unequal distribution of power and resources creates tension and conflict, which ultimately leads to the overthrow of the capitalist system and establishment of a classless society. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
