A dystopic society is an imaginary society in which people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives under some type of control.
Such types of control include technological control, philosophical/religious control, bureaucratic/government control, and psychological control. Choose one of these types of control. Then, explain how this type of control creates conflict for the protagonist and how it influences the meaning of the work as whole.
I'd say d is the answer. By chemical attack, it is specifically a gas attack. Gas masks, all buy one is able to put on their gas masks. Presumably that one guy died. B is definitely incorrect.
