According to Marx,a person's ____ is determined by the source of his or her income or their "relationship to the means of production."

A) exploitation
B) class consciousness
C) bourgeoisie
D) proletariat
E) class

Marx believed that social class is determined by a person's relationship to the means of production, meaning whether they own the means of production or work for others who do. This division creates two main classes: the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production and exploit the labor of the proletariat, who do not own the means of production and must sell their labor to survive. Therefore, the correct answer is E - class.
