    A. Latent functions are unintended, while manifest functions are intended.

    Explanation:

    -Latent functions are unconscious behaviors that tend to resulted in a certain situation in the long run.

    Example:

    When parents beat up their kid everytime the kid did something that they don't like, the kid will most likely grow up to be someone that will beat up others in similar situations.

    This effect tend to be unintended by the parents who aren't aware of the effect of their actions.

    - manifest functions is consciously enforced to create a certain behavior.

    Example:

    When the parents give some sort of reward every time the kid get good grades. This tend to make the kid become more likely to put an effort in studying.

    When that happen, the parents get exactly what they expect. Because of this, we can say that the result is intended.
