A
Privileges
Correct Answer
B
Restraints
C
Competition
D
Ideology

Explanation

Equality fundamentally implies the absence of special privileges, ensuring that no individual or group is granted undue advantages based on factors like birth, religion, or status. While "absence of restraints" (Option B) is a tempting choice, it is the classic definition of Liberty, whereas equality often requires certain legal restraints to prevent discrimination and protect the vulnerable. This question tests the core concept of **Social Equality**, which necessitates the removal of artificial barriers to ensure equal status and opportunities for all citizens.
