Option (c) 'A college dropout launches an online company that earns millions in its first year' illustrates low status consistency, where there is a significant discrepancy between different aspects of an individual's social status.

Step-by-step explanation:

In social stratification, status consistency is the degree to which an individual's social status (wealth, education, prestige) aligns across various dimensions. Low status consistency occurs when there's a discrepancy between these dimensions. Option (c) A college dropout launches an online company that earns millions in its first year is the correct answer.

This example demonstrates a situation where an individual may have low educational attainment (a factor typically associated with lower economic status), but has achieved high economic success through their own entrepreneurial efforts, representing an inconsistency in their social status. Therefore option (c) is correct answer.
