If a system contains unequal treatment or imbalance, this is described as

• A. Equity
• B. Inequity
• C. Strategies
• D. Implement

Answer: (B)

Unequal treatment or imbalance in a system is described as inequity. Inequity refers to unfair and avoidable differences in access, quality of care, or health outcomes that arise from structural factors like socioeconomic status, race, geography, or policy design. Equity, by contrast, is about fairness in treatment and opportunities, often aiming to reduce these disparities by recognizing different needs. Strategies and implement are about plans and actions, not describing the fairness of a system, so they don’t fit. So the best term for a system with unequal treatment is inequity.
