Answer:

The correct answer is: a. The fewer resources available, the more prejudice there will be.

Explanation:

Conflict theory is a theory originally proposed by Karl Marx, which states that individuals are in constant competition with each other due to lack of resources- mainly wealth, power and means of production. Prejudice and unrest between social groups stems from unequal resource distribution when a minority possess more resources and power than the majority, who lack adequate resources.
