"The Giver" presents a utopian society that, in an attempt to end any inequality in society, decides to monitor and make all the choices of society, including in relation to its professions and relationships. In chapter 6 of this book, we can see that it is possible to leave this community, if an individual wants to. In this chapter, we learn that there were cases of people who did not like the profession to which they were assigned and fled the community by crossing a river, but in this same chapter, we are informed that it is possible to lose a license to leave the community, if the individual does not want to do what you've been told.
I'd say D. All of the above
