Ireland Hudson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  In a classical Marxian sense, the worker and owner are in diametrically opposed positions because the owner's goal is to maximize profit and exploit the labor of the workers, while the worker's goal is to receive fair wages and better working conditions.
