The United States wanted/got the Samoan Islands because of its strategic value as a naval base.

The base, based in the capital of Pago Pago, was an important refueling point and a jumping off point for naval exercises in the Southern Pacific Ocean.

Today, the island is under the control of the US Department of the Interior. They are represented in Congress by a nonvoting delegate.

Answer:The correct answer is "C: Dysfunctional".

Explanation:Functionalism is the theory that expresses that mental states are characterized by what they do, rather than what they are made of. For example, a mousetrap exists for the sake of getting rid of mice. One tends to visualize a mousetrap as a wooden platform with a coiled metal spring. However, there are different types of traps for mice.

Following this definition, there are elements in society that function against the current operation of a stable society, like crime, for example. Crime goes against the mental state of the property and how certain things belong to people.
