After reading materials that were published by a program designed to encourage people to eat health foods, Liam decided he would stop eating candy.

Answer:

C. After reading materials that were published by a program designed to encourage people to eat health foods, Liam decided he would stop eating candy.

Explanation:

A manifest function is a function of a social action (policy, process, etc.) that is conscious or deliberate. A manifest function is one that is designed to be beneficial to society. An example of this is the way in which Liam decided not to eat candy after reading the program. This is different from a latent function, which is one that is not consciously intended, but that still has a positive effect on society.
