According to Marx, class conflict is

A) embedded in the system of capitalism.
B) independent of the capitalist system.
C) rare, given the upward mobility capitalism offers.
D) largely inconsequential since it can never succeed.

Marx believed that class conflict is inherent in the capitalist system as it creates an unequal distribution of wealth and power, leading to exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class. The system of capitalism generates conflict between the two classes as each tries to maximize their own interests at the expense of the other. Thus, class conflict is an essential part of the capitalist system according to Marx.
