Answer :
Final answer:
a) being pretty average in relation to others around you
Being pretty average in relation to others around you is not likely to operate as a master status.
Explanation:
A master status is a status that is so important that it overrides all other statuses a person may have. It defines how a person is viewed by society and affects their interactions and opportunities. Out of the options given, being pretty average in relation to others around you (option a) is least likely to operate as a master status. While it may influence some aspects of a person's life, such as self-perception or comparisons with others, it does not have the same significant impact as being the only Asian student in a classroom, being the only girl on a Little League team, or being poor on a campus of financially well-off students.
