What value stresses equal opportunity?

• A. Fairness
• B. Equality
• C. Equity
• D. Justice

Answer: (A)

Equal opportunity is achieved by fairness, because fairness is about giving everyone the same chance and removing bias or obstacles that could block access. When rules are applied consistently and opportunities aren’t limited by discrimination, people have a genuine shot to succeed. Equality focuses on identical treatment or outcomes, which isn’t the same as ensuring opportunities are truly equal; equity aims to balance chances by adjusting for disadvantages, which goes beyond simply offering equal opportunities. Justice is broader and encompasses fairness in a broader sense, but the specific idea of providing a fair shot aligns most directly with fairness.
