It depends on how post you mean, I'd say initially "C", in the 80's came "D", in the 90's "A" with the yuppie's but it has always been true in our capitalistic economy.  You also ended up with the Roman Catholic Church "sex" scandal.  Personally I think "B" has always been with us from the end of slavery, women's suffrage, to the civil rights act and the expanding of SS for Disability and MEDICARE and SSI in 1965.
