What is the study of how society is organized and maintained?

Social change
Social control
Social stratification
Social systems

The correct answer is: Social systems

Sociology is the study of how society is organized and maintained. Social change (option A) refers to the study of how society and individuals change over time. Social control (option B) refers to the methods and mechanisms used by society to regulate individual behavior. Social stratification (option C) refers to the division of society into different social classes based on factors like wealth, education, and occupation. While social systems (option D) can encompass all of these topics, it specifically refers to the larger structures and interactions within a society, making it the most accurate answer.
