Answer 1

He viewed society as D. an organism in which each portion plays a vital role in keeping the organism stable and healthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Functionalism centers on the nature of mental states, focusing more on what they do (function) than what they are.

Émile Durkheim said that society is a moral entity, more than just a group of individuals acting on their own accord, he argued that every part plays a vital role in order to keep it (the organism) healthy and stable.
