The answer is D. Social stratification.

Explanation:

In sociology, social stratification is the concept used to analyze and describe the process of hierarchical arrangement in societies. This process is based on factors such as wealth, power and income, in other words, a person's place in social stratification derives from their control of basic resources. Nowadays, social stratification is made up of social classes, but historically there have been other terms to describe the positions in such stratification, for example, the term caste. Whichever the term used, it is used to separate society in large social groups depending on their control of resources and production means.
