Answer 1

Answer:

 Option B          

Explanation:

In simple words, Income inequality refers to the severe imbalance in wealth levels typically in the possession of a limited minority of a community with a large accumulation of wealth.

If wealth disparity exists, there is indeed a wide difference in the resources of one group of the society and that of another. Specific forms of discrimination and study of wage differences should be used to explain economic inequality.                      

          Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .
