An instance of injustice or unfairness is an

• A. Barrier
• B. Violence
• C. Inequity
• D. Partnership

Answer: (C)

Injustice or unfairness is captured by the idea of inequity. Inequity refers to unfair differences in treatment, opportunities, or outcomes that arise from social or systemic factors rather than individual choices. In healthcare and ethics, inequity explains why some groups experience worse access to care or worse health results simply because of where they live, their socioeconomic status, or other structural factors. The other terms don’t fit as well: a barrier is an obstacle that can contribute to unfairness but isn’t the unfairness itself; violence is harm through force; partnership is a cooperative relationship. So the instance described by the prompt aligns with inequity.
