Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a): C and D only.
· C. If socialism is to be defined in two words, then they are equality and prosperity: This reflects Ram Manohar Lohia's view that socialism should aim for both equality and prosperity, where equality refers to the removal of social and economic disparities, and prosperity refers to overall economic growth.
· D. The desire for equality in the modern world has become the desire for being similar and not equal: Lohia criticized modern society's interpretation of equality, arguing that it had shifted from true equality (which celebrates diversity) to a desire for uniformity, where people aspire to be alike rather than embrace individual differences.
