Answer 1

B. Class tensions will lead to the end of market economies.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Marxists theory, the tension between the capitalist and the working class gives birth to the class conflict in the society. It is tension that is created as the result of the exploitation and conflict between the two. This conflict further would initiate a revolution among the working class that would turn the capitalist class upside down. The exploitation faced by the working class by the capitalists is the major force that would turn them to be rebellious.
