The correct answer to the question: What is most likely the result of government failure to maintain order in society? Would be, B: A rise in crime rates.

Explanation:

Criminality is not, or should not be, a common behavior in people. In order for this disordered conduct to arise, a certain number of factors must be present, and met. The question here is, government failure to keep order in society, which means, the measures and strategies that a government implements precisely to avoid having those factors mentioned above, met, and thus prevent criminal behavior from arising. When a government fails to maintain proper order  because it doesn´t offer good education programs, economic opportunities for people, rational and manageable prices, among other things, then people, especially young ones, start to become exposed to the ways of obtaining these things, through criminal activities. Thus, as criminality rates increase, it can be said that a government is failing to supply its people with the necessary elements to overcome the factors that may drive them towards criminal behavior, and it can also be said that a government has failed to maintain order in society.
