Explanation / Answer
Emile Durkheim was a sociologist who unlike other sociologists or psychologists emphasised on the effect of external factors rather than internal factors on human behaviour. He believed that the society played a very important role in determining an individual's behaviour. Durkheim in his theory expressed his views on how an individual is bound by the society and has to abide by the norms and values created by them. According to Durkheim this restricts an individual from exhibiting a behaviour that is innate to him because it may not be acceptable with the societal norms.
Individuals may feel isolated due to the societal norms, thus, the answer cannot be A.
Since Durkheim stressed on the interaction of an individual with the society and not personal interactions with family members, answer B is false as well.
The societal norms and values could restrict an individual in many ways, which could eventually lead to frustration that may be responsible for an individual to take extreme steps like a murder or suicide. Thus, the correct answer is C.
