B. promoting social and political integration
C. transmitting culture
D. maintaining social control
The correct answer is B. promoting social and political integration.
When a college requires students to live on campus for their first two years, it encourages interaction and collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds. This fosters social connections and a sense of community, which helps integrate students socially and politically into the campus culture. By living together, students are more likely to engage in group activities, discussions, and form networks, thus promoting integration.
