Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to conflict theory, the creation of economic marginality and the coercive control of workers under capitalism lead to various negative consequences, such as loss of self-esteem, resentment, powerlessness, and alienation. However, it does not suggest that capitalism results in a greater reliance on the family. In fact, conflict theory highlights how capitalism undermines traditional family structures and relationships by separating family members through employment and subjecting them to different economic and social conditions.
