Read the passage and answer the following question:

The scope of sociological study is extremely wide. It can focus its analysis of interactions between individuals such as that of a shopkeeper with a customer, between teachers and students, between two friends or family members. It can likewise focus on national issues such as unemployment or caste conflict or the effect of state policies on forest rights of the tribal population or rural indebtedness. Or examine global social processes such as: the impact of new flexible labour regulations on the working class; or that of the electronic media on the young; or the entry of foreign universities on the education system of the country. What defines the discipline of sociology is therefore not just what it studies (i.e. family or trade unions or villages) but how it studies a chosen field.

How does sociology study society?

It uses the sociological imagination to bring into focus the connections between individuals and society, the micro and the macro, the local and the global.

The correct answer is Option (3) → It uses the sociological imagination to bring into focus the connections between individuals and society, the micro and the macro, the local and the global.
