Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

Stuart Hall was a founding member of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Birmingham, which is considered to be the birthplace of cultural studies as a discipline. Hall argued that cultural studies should be a broad and inclusive field that could accommodate the study of the lives of all people, regardless of their social class or background. He also argued that cultural studies should be used to promote critical readings of culture and society. The CCCS at Birmingham was known for its innovative and interdisciplinary approach to cultural studies. It attracted scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, history, and literature. The CCCS also produced a number of influential publications, including the journals Cultural Studies and Screen.
Cultural studies have since evolved into a global discipline, and it is now taught in universities all over the world. However, the work of Stuart Hall and the CCCS at Birmingham remains foundational to the field.
Some specific examples of how cultural studies at Birmingham accommodated the study of the lives of working-class people and promoted readings based on social and political contexts:
 The CCCS produced a number of studies on the cultures of working-class people, such as Resistance Through Rituals: Subcultures in Post-war Britain (1976) and Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State, and Law and Order (1978).
 The CCCS also developed new theories of culture and society that drew on the experiences of working-class people, such as Hall's theory of encoding and decoding.
The CCCS was also committed to promoting critical readings of culture and society. For example, the journal Cultural Studies published articles on topics such as racism, sexism, and class inequality.
The work of the CCCS at Birmingham helped to establish cultural studies as a discipline that is committed to social justice and equality.
