Deviance is inevitably the result of socioeconomic differences.

Deviance is found in inner-city subcultures.

Deviance is frequently visible along racial lines.

Deviance is a collective response

Explanation / Answer

In the terms of social systems of norms it was estimated that delinquent subculture denoted the system of norms values or interest that support crimes as well as the criminal behaviours. and is also refers to the concept that groups which formed as a gang who reject the society norms, regulation and ethical values. the difference which is considered to be the primary as of understanding between the deviancy and Robert K. Merton is that it is found in inner-city subcultures. because the production of this kind of deviancy is due to the difference in the moral values of different culture ethics and subculture. it may be different from inner-city subculture to other.

so the correct option is "b".

There are no case of socioeconomy differences so option "a" is incorrect.

Racial lines may be the reasion but it cant be taken as primary difference of understanding so option "c" is also incorrect..... And it will not be a case of collective response as it lead to the formation of other things rather than deviancy so option "d" is also incorrect.
