Dialectic materialism is the theory that historical development is the result of the struggle between conflicting material forces, particularly between the capitalists and the working classes. Option B reflects this by stating that the material reality of a worker's low pay indicates exploitation even if the worker is content, and that the push and pull of wages and profits indicate an unresolved tension in capitalism where change is possible. Option C, while partially reflecting the exploitation aspect, contradicts dialectic materialism by suggesting that content workers cannot be exploited. Options A and D do not reflect dialectic materialism accurately as they do not discuss the conflicting material forces and the possibility of change.
