What is the definition of social stratification?

  1. The unequal distribution of economic resources

  2. The relative power of one group of people over another

  3. The hierarchal arrangement of social classes

  4. The tendency for social change to occur gradually

The correct answer is: The hierarchal arrangement of social classes

Social stratification is the organization of society into different levels or classes. This is based on factors such as wealth, social status, and power. Option A is incorrect because it only focuses on one aspect of social stratification, economic resources. Option B is incorrect because it only considers power dynamics between different groups, rather than the overall structure of society. Option D is incorrect because it refers to a process, rather than a definition. Option C is the best answer as it encompasses the various aspects of social stratification.
