What is the importance of equal opportunity in human rights protection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It prevents people from being pushed back due to birth or identity
The governing concept is equality of opportunity and non-discrimination. People should not be denied education, employment, public services or participation merely because of birth, caste, religion, gender, disability, language or another identity. Equal opportunity does not mean that every person has identical circumstances; it means that unfair barriers are removed and decisions are made through fair, relevant criteria, with support where disadvantage requires it. Option A is correct because it prevents identity-based exclusion and supports dignity and social justice. Options B, C and D describe inequality or exclusion, so they contradict the purpose of equal opportunity.
