The correct answer is B. The perspective that asserts that poverty is the result of social or economic imbalances is social structuralism.

Explanation:

Social Structuralism is a methodological position in the most general sense that states that to understand certain phenomena it is necessary to grasp the structure in which they occur, or build a model that explains their role in their environment.

Regarding poverty, social structuralism seeks to investigate the causes that give rise to it, but not through simple numerical figures, but by investigating the socioeconomic and cultural origin of it.
