B. stratification
Stratification refers to the structured ranking of groups of people within a society that brings about unequal economic rewards and power. In sociological terms, it is the layering or division of society into strata or ranks, with some groups inheriting a higher status and more resources than others. This can occur along various lines, including class, race, gender, and age, and can affect people's access to resources like wealth, education, and political influence.
