Explanation:

- Emile Durkheim identified abnormal forms of the division of labor, which deviate from what he considered a healthy societal structure.

- Forced Division of Labor: Occurs when individuals are coerced into roles irrespective of their talents or social positions. It's abnormal because it leads to inefficiencies and dissatisfaction.

- Anomic Division of Labor: Arises when there is a breakdown of societal norms, leading to individuals feeling disconnected or unsure about their roles.

- Inequality: Durkheim viewed this as problematic, but he did not classify it explicitly as an abnormal form in the same way as forced or anomic division.

- High Division of Labor: Durkheim did not specifically mention high division of labor as an abnormal form on its own.
