C. People are equals due to the enforcement of handicaps.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. People are equals due to the enforcement of handicaps.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the people in the story "Harrison Bergeron." In this story, the people that inhabit the reality are all "equal." However, the concept of equality is taken to an extreme level. This means that no one can be any more intelligent, or beautiful or athletic than anyone else. What this causes is that all people are lowered to the lowest common denominator through the use of handicaps.
