The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Social stratification is a process whereby members of a particular society are categorized into ranks as a result of some contributing factors like, race, wealth, education, power, gender, occupation and income. It is also an hierarchical placement of the members of a society based on their social status.

Social stratification is used in understanding the inequality in a society and can also be based on economy and politics.
