Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Realistic conflict theory suggests that intergroup conflicts arise when groups compete over limited resources, leading to frustration and aggression. This is consistent with frustration-aggression theory, which proposes that frustration often leads to aggression. Therefore, the best choice is C, frustration-aggression theory. Social categorization is not directly related to the idea of limited resources, and scapegoat and jigsaw theories do not address resource competition at all.
