Answer:

C. Scapegoat

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, an scapegoat refers to the person who is blamed for one's own problems or for the problems happening in a society or community resulting in the isolation of that person. It is important to note that a scapegoat can either be a person or a group of persons (who share common characteristics) and therefore these group can become isolated after being blamed of the wrong things that happen in the community.

Therefore, a scapegoat provides a convenient group or person to blame when things go wrong in one's personal life or in the community.
