Hofstede's power distance dimension refers to the extent to which individuals in a culture accept and expect unequal distribution of power. Option B, "Everybody should have equal rights versus the ones who are in control are entitled to privilege," best describes this dimension. It refers to a low power distance culture where everyone expects to be treated equally versus a high power distance culture where those in authority have privileges and there is a significant difference in power and status between individuals. The other options do not relate to the power distance dimension.
