Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Conflict theory argues that conflict among groups with different amounts of power produces change, which leads to a new system of stratification which leads to further conflict and further change. Functionalists see social change occurring as a result of population growth, changes in technology, inequalities among classes and status groups and efforts by different groups to meet their needs in a world of scarce resources.
