Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Socioeconomic status (SES) is determined by level of income, level of education, and prestige of occupation. SES helps to determine access to resources, opportunities, and overall quality of life. Political participation, number of friends, and level of intelligence do not directly constitute SES.
