d. middle-class measuring rods

Explanation:This is a concept used to explain how lower-class children are evaluated on the same basis as their wealthier, middle and upper class counterparts leading to frustration because they do not have the same opportunities.

Hence, living up to middle-class measuring rods, will make them socialize more not minding the class they belong to in the society.
