Answer:

Ascribed status

Step-by-step explanation:

Example of ascribed status would be the prince of a kingdom.

For most people, social status is earned through our achievements and interaction with other people. But for people like prince of a kingdom, that really high status is given as soon as he is born without having to make any effort for it.
