Answer:

Status Symbols

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary; a status symbol is "a possession that is taken to indicate a person's wealth or high social or professional status."

Hence status Symbols are external displays of the possessors' wealth and social status. These goods can not be possessed by people who do not belong to that social status or profession.
