Answer: C. Symbolic interactionist

Explanation:

Symbolic interactionist is a theory in sociology that explains how people relate with one another through symbols. For one to understand such social structure, it must be based on this method of interaction.

This theory was developed by George Herbert Mead and his counterpart Herbert Blumer during the 20th century.

Symbolic interaction is important because it helps us to understand and other people's way of behaviour, it also helps us to connect with the society.
