Answer:

The correct answer is C. Symbolic Interactionist

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolic interactionism refers to the symbolic meaning and bond individuals attribute to others thanks to the social interaction.

This theory developed from Max Weber's idea that a person tends to act according to his/her interpretation of the world.

In this case, technology has become the main symbol and people can either accept or deny it, in which case a symbolic interactionist tends to see that the main use for this tool is to express one's wealth.

This is because an individual tends to act according to his/her interpretations and would treat another different if they thought this person was wealthy.
