Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
False consciousness is the concept that individuals are unable to see the true nature of their oppressed conditions and are instead misled to believe in an illusion that keeps them submissive to those in power. It does not result in people becoming aware of their true social condition or becoming aware of their true social self. However, it can lead to people coming together to make change once they become aware of their false consciousness.
