Hello @avif,

Remember that we are looking for something that both Rawls and the author agree with. I believe that your support for C comes from the last sentence, beginning on line 51. The author is discussing a consequence of Rawls' idea, which is described as "redistributionist." The author likely agrees with C, but we cannot say that Rawls agrees with it. He might not share this belief that his idea is redistributionist.

Interesting. I thought that if is a consequence of his system than he definitely agrees with it but I guess it isn't explicit. Thanks.
