Explanation
The correct answer is A.
Hofstede's cultural dimension of power distance directly addresses how societies view and handle inequality among their members. In cultures with large power distance, people accept a hierarchical order where everybody has a place without needing further justification. Inequality is expected and often desired. In societies with small power distance, people strive to equalize the distribution of power and demand justification for power inequalities.
This dimension specifically deals with how society handles inequalities among people, including those related to status, wealth, and power. It reflects the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. Unlike the other dimensions listed, power distance directly relates to societal attitudes towards inequality.
