a) structural functionalism.
b) the conflict perspective.
c) symbolic interactionism.
d) the neo-conflict perspective.

Answer 1

C) Symbolic interactionism

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolic interactionism is a framework that focuses on the relationships between the members of a society. It explores symbolic meanings and interactions, especially within a relationship.

In the case of divorce, sociologists analyze the interactions between the husband and the wife, and the real meaning behind marriage and divorce.

According to sociologists, divorce can also be seen or studied from a Functional or Conflict perspective (A and B, respectively). However, when they explore "what it means" they are referring to Symbolic interactionism.
