C. Symbolic Interactionism

Explanation:

The view of symbolic interaction, also known as symbolic interactionism, is a significant sociological theory framework.

This view is based on the symbolic significance that in the process of social interaction individuals grow and build on.

This view was brought by American philosopher George Herbert Mead to sociology in the 1920s.
