Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Focus more on individuals and their specific circumstances

Explanation:

Organic solidarity is a theory developed by Emile Durkheim which explains that it is the individual efforts of people that lead to a thriving society. Individuals, although different with their peculiarities contribute to growth through a network of interdependence.

Mechanical solidarity on the other hand attributes social cohesion to the sameness of individuals. Organic solidarity employs restitutive sanctions, while Mechanical solidarity employs repressive sanctions.
