The correct answer is B, Education helps In perpetuating inequality in society.
I just took the test.

You know why B is the correct answer, though, right?

Explanation:

I interpret it as pertaining to Ivy League schools and who they accept into their colleges. I don't know if you've ever heard about the 'scandal' with Harvard and the like, but they were found to be discriminant against Asians coming to their schools. African-Americans/blacks also have a tough time in higher education. So, there is definitely a high sense of racial inequality when it comes to those 'big wig' schools. As well as racial inequality possessing the potential to 'strike' at any time on college campuses in general. And we could even take this to the high school level. So, in a nutshell, I hope this provides you more context as to why B is the correct answer. There are also economic disparities in college student populations; not everybody has the funds or ability to take out student loans in order to finish their college degrees. It can be pretty costly. So, that is what is meant by that answer.

b)

it created free trade throughout the colonial territories.
