Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Achieved statuses are gained through personal ability or successful competition, such as occupation, education, and income. Ascribed statuses, on the other hand, are given to individuals at birth or based on their family background, such as race, gender, and social class. Valued statuses refer to the level of prestige or honor associated with a particular status. Socioeconomic status is a broad concept that encompasses both ascribed and achieved statuses, as well as other factors such as wealth and social power. However, since the question specifically asks for statuses that are gained through personal ability or successful competition, the best choice is achieved (D).
