All of humanity's struggles have been struggles between the richer classes and the poorer classes.

Why: The Communist Manifesto argues that history is essentially the history of class struggles (bourgeoisie vs. proletariat)—conflicts rooted in economic class relations—so option 2 best captures its central claim. The other options mischaracterize Marx's focus (spiritual causes, a quick fix, or promoting happiness as the primary goal).
