Answer:
The correct answer is: a. The sociological imagination
Explanation:
The American sociologist C. Wright Mills coined the term "sociological imagination" by which he refers to the understanding and awareness of the relationship between personal experiences and the society as a whole.
It occurs when an individual realizes that his life is the result of an historical unfolding of events and that his biography is circumscribed within a broad social context of which he is part of.
