I'm a bit stumped on this one. I know STEEPLE looks at different factors, but I can't quite recall which one socio-economic falls under. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Socio-technical? Is this exam testing my knowledge of socially awkward robots? I'll go with A - Socio-economic, sounds the most normal.
