In which situation can work family balance benefits remain limited to privileged workers?

Correct answer: When flexible work is only for high positions

The direct answer is A: when flexible work is available only to people in high positions. Work-family balance means managing job duties and family responsibilities without unfair strain. A benefit is not truly inclusive if only privileged workers can use it. Step by step, if senior employees receive flexible hours but lower-paid or junior employees do not, access is unequal; therefore the benefit remains concentrated among privileged workers. Option A is correct for exactly this reason. Option B is wrong because giving the facility to all eligible workers broadens access. Option C is wrong because widespread childcare support helps many workers combine work and family life. Option D is wrong because a safe grievance system can help workers report unfair treatment and seek protection. The issue is not whether a policy exists, but who can actually use it. Exam cue: ask “available to whom?” when judging equity.
