An occupational group tends to be classified as a(n) :​

A) ​subculture
B) ​culture
C) ​society
D) ​ethnic group

An occupational group is considered a subculture because it is a smaller cultural group within a larger culture (society) that shares common values, beliefs, and practices related to their occupation. It is not classified as a culture itself because it does not encompass all aspects of a society and its members may participate in other cultural groups as well. It is also not an ethnic group since it is not defined by shared ancestry or cultural heritage.
