参考答案
正确答案：C
解析："The underclass includes those who have been left behind by contemporary economic developments... the underclass may become dependent on public assistance or illegal activities." Choices A and D may be true, but they are not mentioned in the passage. Choice B is not correct because the illegal activities cause the increase in crime, not the opposite.
