Which of the following sociologically describes the notion of "minority"?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → relatively small disadvantaged group with a heightened sense of solidarity.
In sociology, a minority group is not defined by its numerical size alone, but by its social, economic, or political disadvantage. A group can be a numerical majority but still be a sociological minority if it lacks power compared to a dominant group.
