B. Max Weber; Positivism
C. Karl Marx; Communism
D. Comte; Antipositivism
The correct answer to this question is C. Karl Marx; Communism
Explanation:
Karl Marx proposed a complex theory to explain the economy and changes in society. This theory included the idea societies' evolution occurs due to the struggle of power and domination between different social classes, which is known now as "conflict theory". For example, during the middle ages, power was held by kings, the clerk, and nobility but this changed with the rise of capitalism as owners of factories and businesses took the power.
Moreover, in this theory, Marx proposed conflict between workers and owners would lead to the end of capitalism. Also, this would be replaced by Communism, which is an economical system that involves goods and means of production are owned by everyone, and therefore there is an equal distribution of wealth.
