Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earnings inequality can be caused by several factors, including pay discrimination, occupational segregation, and human capital discrimination (such as unequal access to education or training). Therefore, option C, which includes all three factors, is the best choice. Chance and risk-taking do not directly contribute to earnings inequality and therefore option D can be eliminated. Option A only includes pay discrimination, while option B only includes pay discrimination and occupational segregation, both of which are incomplete explanations for earnings inequality.
