c. Gerhard Lenski

Explanation:

Harold R. Kerbo tried to synthesize the functionalist and conflict perspectives. His analysis is based on the work of Gerhard Lenski. Harold R. Kerbo has been a professor of sociology at Cal Poly since 1977. Professor Kerbo has published several books and numerous articles on the subjects of social stratification, comparative societies, and economic development and world poverty. He has argued that stratification system are institutions that have evolved in order to reduce the conflict. There would be continuing conflict and aggression over the distribution of scarce resource without the system of stratification. When the question arises that who gets what and why, institutionalized inequality gives the answers.
