E.

Explanation:

Egalitarian means a person who believes in equality.

An egalitarian society is the society which believes in equality among people. Power and authority is such a society is usually hereditary. Unequal power in such a society is exempted meaning that no person can misuse his/her authority over other people. The only exception in such society is gender, age, and ability.

So, the correct answer is option E.

there are no options provided but you can choose among the following gender-neutral pronouns: zir, hir, eir, vis, tem, eir.

in the normal course of maintaining a pronoun-antecedent agreement, we could have used the words his or her but since we are also required to use gender-neutral language, we need to replace it with its equivalent gender-neutral pronoun.
