What is the pluralist view of power in society?:

It is concentrated in a select few individuals
It is shared by a variety of interest groups
It is accessible to everyone
It is concentrated in the government

The correct answer is: It is shared by a variety of interest groups

The pluralist view of power in society holds that power is shared by a variety of interest groups rather than being concentrated in a select few individuals or solely held by the government. This perspective emphasizes the idea of a diverse range of competing groups with different levels of influence, rather than a singular dominant group or entity holding all of the power. Options A and D are incorrect as they suggest power is concentrated in either a select few individuals or the government, without acknowledging the role of other groups. Option C is also incorrect as it oversimplifies the concept of power and fails to acknowledge the complexities of power dynamics in society.
