Answer 1

The available options are:

A.  seeks equality of opportunity

B.  encourages economic growth

C. depends on productivity

D. is based on equality of results

Answer:

D.  is based on equality of results

Explanation:

Option D.  Equality of results in redistribution policy focuses on giving each individual or everybody in the society similar or equal standard, which would benefit Jonas, regardless of being poor, old or living in the rural areas. Hence the right answer.

However, Option A.  Equality of opportunity will not benefits Jonas, because, this policy only seeks to treat everyone based on opportunity, and because Jonas lives in rural area, it would not benefit Jonas additionally, hence, it is not a correct answer

Option B.  Policy that encourages economic growth will focuses on urban and youths, rather than rural and old which Jonas falls in, hence, it would not benefit Jonas.

Option C.  Policy depending on productivity will give lower income to Jonas, because, Jonas is poor already and  lives in rural area, where productivity level is generally lower. Hence, it would not benefit Jonas.
