What does it mean to say that a society is stratified?

All individuals are equal
People are divided into socioeconomic classes
It is very diverse
There is a minimal difference between social classes

The correct answer is: People are divided into socioeconomic classes

A society being stratified means that there is a division of people into different socioeconomic classes. This means that individuals are not equal but rather have different levels of wealth, status, and power. Option A is incorrect because if a society was truly equal, there would be no stratification. Option C is also incorrect as diversity does not necessarily mean stratification. Option D is incorrect because stratification implies significant differences between social classes, not minimal differences.
