Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hierarchical societies value social status and position, and thus try to avoid conflict over status by maintaining strict hierarchies and social expectations. Open disagreement and discouraging consensus would disrupt the established social order, and basing relationships on merit would challenge the existing hierarchy. Therefore, option A is the best choice.
