social life is a struggle between those who possess and those who do not.

D
all of the above

Explanation

Conflict theorists view society as a struggle over power and resources, including between those who have them and those who do not. They also argue that powerful people may use deviant behavior to protect their position, and that the ruling class can label challenges to its power as deviant. Since all three statements fit the conflict perspective, the correct choice is “all of the above.”
