Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In Marx's theory, the proletariat is a class in themselves during the classical phase. This means they exist as a class based on their shared condition (working class), but they have not yet attained class consciousness to act as a collective force for social change. \[ \boxed{\text{Option A}} \]
