Yanıt Açıklaması:

The concept of cultural reproduction and habitus is produced by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002), one of the most important theoreticians of the 20th century. Bourdieu (1984), in his famous study, Distinction, uses a statistical data set to identify social groupings which differ from each other in terms of their distinctive life style- that is, their habitus: they have same taste in food and clothes, they like the same kind of music, they share the same leisure activities and hobbies. Bourdieu also looks at the statistical relations between the individual’s life-style and preferences as an indication of the existence of a habitus that is characteristic of each social class or stratum, of a mode of activity and way of thinking that organizes the individual’s everyday life. The correct answer is A.
