'Social Stratification' has the following features:

(A) Intergenerational
(B) legitimised by belief and ideology
(C) leads to discrimination
(D) helps in the equitable distribution of resources

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B) and (C) only

• Option (A) refers to the intergenerational aspect of social stratification, indicating that social status and privileges are often passed down from one generation to another.
• Option (B) highlights that social stratification is often legitimized by belief systems and ideologies, which serve to justify the unequal distribution of resources and privileges in society.
• Option (C) indicates that social stratification leads to discrimination, as individuals belonging to different strata may face differential treatment based on their social status.
• Option (D) is not included in the correct answer because social stratification does not necessarily lead to the equitable distribution of resources. Instead, it often results in the concentration of resources and privileges among certain groups while marginalizing others.
