Question

Explanation:

Answer 2

I don't know which central idea you're referring to, but I would say the correct answer is A. Taking from the wealthy to feed the poor discourages hard work. It sounds like a critique of a utopian idea about a just and equal society. The remaining three statements are not critiques at all. They are mere information about the society and its customs, or the utopia itself.
