Answer:

c. see class as defined by the relationship of the classes to the larger system of economic production.

Explanation:

The conflict perspective analyzes society through distributive conflict.

Distributive conflict consists, literally, in the dispute over the distribution of wealth (income) among social classes. For example, workers are a class that reinvigorates higher wages (greater share in distribution) while entrepreneurs aim to lower wages to increase their own share of total income distribution.

Distributive conflict occurs in all areas of the economy, whether in the productive or financial sphere, and the rationale for the analysis lies precisely in the demonstration of classses as economic classes.
