What is the term for an individual’s status in society?

Religion
Norm
Social class
Role

The correct answer is: Role

An individual's status in society is typically determined by their occupation, education, income, and other factors that make up their social class. Religion is the set of beliefs and practices associated with a particular group or community. Norms refer to the shared expectations and behaviors of a group or society. Role is the set of expectations and behaviors associated with a particular position or social identity. While religion, norms, and role all play a role in an individual's life and can influence their status in society, they are not the specific term used to describe an individual's overall social standing. Thus, the correct term for an individual's status in society is role.
