Answer:

C). Poverty ensures there will be low-wage workers to perform work that may be undesirable to some people.

Explanation:

The functionalist perspective is demonstrated as the perspective or outlook which views or perceives the society as an intricate system that comprises of interrelated parts or elements and these elements together work or contribute in cooperatively in harmony to ensure stability, equilibrium, and solidarity for the whole.

As per the question, option C best reflects a 'functionalist perspective' as it views the society as the whole unit and describes that 'these low-wage workers contribute' to maintain the harmony and social balance by 'doing the work that might be undesirable to few people'. Thus, this reflects the functionalist perspective as it emphasizes on maintaining the social equilibrium rather than focusing on the concerns of the individual workers. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
