Eden Bond · Answer 1

The correct answer is: Social movements take advantage of available resources to address pressing grievances.

Explanation:

Resource-mobilization theory refers to the process by which a social group acquires resources in an effective manner from different sources in order to accomplish their political goals and further their interests in the political landscape.

This sociological theory sees social movements as rational social institutions, where members share grievances and seek to reduce them through organized political action.
