Which option is an example of capitalism and inequality? a. an equitable distribution of wealth and income b. the channelization of government funds toward rural development c. creation of programs directed at increasing the rate of employment d. provision of minimum wages and poor working conditions for laborers e. creation of lenient treatment programs for individuals who commit street crimes

The correct answer is D. provision of minimum wages and poor working conditions for laborers.
The provision of minimum wages makes a very big favor for the owners of the companies because it gives them the opportunity to stick to the minimum wage and not be charged for it because they have the legislative on their side, while the laborers are left with the choice to either work for the minimum wage or quit their jobs. Very often it is the case that the laborers are not provided with suitable working conditions, but the corporations are very powerful and in most cases are avoiding any charges.
