Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A normative principle for social dealings asks how rights, duties, benefits, and burdens should be arranged fairly.
It differs from mere sameness of treatment, rivalry for advantage, and the capacity to influence others.
Application
The stem focuses on fairness in dealings among people in an educational setting. That focus maps to justice.
Contrast
Equality stresses equal status, rights, or access; it does not by itself cover the broader judgement of what is fair in social relations.
Competition describes striving against others for goals or scarce resources.
Power describes the capacity to influence people, decisions, or outcomes.
Justice evaluates social arrangements and dealings in terms of fair treatment, rights, duties, benefits, and burdens.
Cross-check
Substituting the other concepts changes the governing idea to sameness, rivalry, or influence, while the stem specifically asks about fairness in social dealings.
Therefore, the concept is Justice.
