The correct answer is **d. all of the above**.

The United States has an open class system that allows for various types of social mobility, including:

- **Horizontal mobility**: This refers to movement within the same social class or status (e.g., changing jobs within the same income bracket).
- **Vertical mobility**: This involves moving up or down the social hierarchy (e.g., achieving a higher income or social status).
- **Intergenerational mobility**: This pertains to changes in social status that occur from one generation to the next (e.g., children achieving a higher or lower status than their parents).

All these types of mobility contribute to the overall concept of social mobility within the U.S. class system.
