The correct answer is Hats symbolize social status or occupation as well as being fashion items.

The sentence follows the same pattern as ‘Coffee or tea’? The conjunction ‘or’ connects two objects of the same category. You can’t see ‘Coffee or sweet?’ You need two nouns here. Please let me know if this makes sense.
