The correct answer is the functionalist school of sociology.

The functionalist school of sociology or functionalism refers to a perspective in sociology that states that society is comprised of various interconnected components (government, education, religion, media, etc.,) that function together harmoniously and in a smooth manner. This in turn makes society function in a balanced and stable manner. Prominent functionalist sociologists include Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parsons.
