Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Marx and Engels wrote ”The Communist Manifesto” in 1848, highlighting the historical materialist view that societal progress occurs through class struggles. This statement underscores the conflict between oppressors and the oppressed as the driving force of history. The text calls for the proletariat (working class) to rise against the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) to establish a classless, communist society.
