The correct response is Option C: Anomie.

Explanation:

Anomie is a concept from the work of Emile Durkheim, a sociologist who described anomie as a form of social disintegration. Anomie occurs when there are deep levels of social change like industrialization that creates a division of labor that structures modern society. This has led to greater levels of social differentiation like rich and poor, rural and urban. Durkheim argued that social cohesion is weakened when there is a lot of change and old principles are no longer applicable.  In this state, people feel anomie when they no longer observe the general rules and they don't ascribe to the collective order.  A consequence of this loss of social cohesion increased crime and increased maladies like depression.
