Answer: What the author meant by this statement is that C) in a democracy, everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
Explanation: Irving Kristol was an American journalist born in the early 20th century. Kristol was also known as "the godfather of neoconservatism" since he advocated the promotion of democracy and was against the New Left. In this statement, he states that, <u>although not everyone has the same life conditions in a democracy, everyone has the same chances to attain success in life.</u> He does not make reference to government leaders nor to socialism; therefore, the correct answer is C).
