Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Theories of revolution (including those of Marx, Crane Brinton, Chalmers Johnson, and Theda Skocpol) identify severe class antagonisms, the alienation and mobilizing role of intellectuals, and systemic social disequilibrium as key catalysts of revolution, whereas a desire for peace and gradual incremental reforms stabilize rather than overthrow a political system.
