Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions:
The capitalist system of society does not foster healthy relations among human beings. A few people own all the means of production and others-though nominally free have to sell their labour under conditions imposed upon them. The emphasis of capitalism being on the supreme importance of material wealth the intensity of its appeal is to the acquisitive intensity. It promotes worship of economic power with little regard to the means employed for its acquisition and the end that it serves. By its exploitation of human beings to the limits of endurance its concentration on the largest profit rather than maximum production.
Thus the division of human family is done on the basis of economic circumstances. All this is injurious to division of human dignity. And when the harrowed poor turn to the founders of religion for succour, they rather offer a subtle defence of the established order. They promise future happiness for their present suffering and conjure up visions of paradise to redress the balance to soothe the suffering and the revolt of the tortured men. The system imposes injustice, the religion justifies it.

- A.
Maximum production

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
This option is close to the idea in the passage but is not the most appropriate answer. The passage specifically emphasizes “personal” matters in choosing a school, so “personal liberty” fits more accurately than the broader term “individual liberty.” Therefore, Option A (Maximum production) is the correct answer because it highlights what capitalism specifically prioritizes over mere output volume. Options B and C are incorrect as the text describes exploitation rather than investment in human resources or unusual benefits. Option D is not mentioned, as the passage focuses on profit motives rather than expenditure reduction strategies.
