Cohen's theory utilizes which group to illustrate status frustration?

A) upper-class boys.
B) middle-class boys.
C) lower-class boys.
D) lower-class girls.

Cohen's theory of status frustration suggests that lower-class boys who cannot achieve middle-class status through traditional means (such as academic success or economic mobility) experience frustration that leads to delinquent behavior as a way to gain status and prove their masculinity. Upper-class and middle-class boys are not typically included in this theory. Lower-class girls may also experience status frustration, but Cohen's theory specifically focuses on boys.
