Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. did sociology begin

Answer: B) did sociology begin
Explanation: When a sentence begins with a negative adverbial phrase like "Not until...", it triggers subject-verb inversion in the main clause. The auxiliary verb (did) must come before the subject (sociology), followed by the base form of the verb (begin).
