Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Critical theory is a multidisciplinary approach that attempts to understand and criticize society, culture, and the economy through examining and challenging power structures and inequalities. It grew out of dissatisfaction with Marxism's focus on economic and class-based analysis and sought to broaden its range of inquiry to include issues of race, gender, sexuality, and culture. It also criticized traditional sociology for viewing individuals as passive products of social structures rather than active agents capable of creating change. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer as all the choices are correct.
