Respuesta :

Answer:

Strain

Explanation:

According to Robert Merton society deems certain goals that a person should achieve are more important than others. These goals are known as cultural goals.

There are two ways by which these goals can be achieved: socially accepted and socially unaccepted means. If any of these ways are blocked then this leads to strain.

Hence, the frustration is called strain.
