Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Agricultural societies have the greatest amount of social differentiation due to their reliance on labor specialization, surplus production, and the development of social classes. Pastoral societies also have some social differentiation, but not to the same extent as agricultural societies. Foraging and horticultural societies have relatively little social differentiation.
