Answer:

Hello! Its C!

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test, and got 100% lol

But fr the best way I could describe 'a latent function of education' is basically its extra activities. Reading, math, and science is important for everyday life, becoming an athlete is not.

Hope this helps! You got this!!

Answer:

D. learning scientific methods

Step-by-step explanation:

A latent function refers to beneficial or possibly harmful effects that, although unwanted, occur following certain actions. In this case, we can say that a latent function of education is to learn scientific methods, because we know that this learning will have effects on society, although we do not know if beneficial or harmful, we know that they are the result of education.
