Answer:

A. Mae, who is focusing on how to improve society in her study

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Max Horkheimer, a good critical theory meets 3 criteria, Explanatory(explain what is wrong with current social reality), practical (Identify the actors to change it), and normative (Provide both clear norms for criticism and achievable practical goals for social transformation). So by Mae focusing on how to improve society, it takes a critical approach.
