Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Pogge's work emphasizes global systemic inequalities and wealth disparity stemming from institutional imbalances. Rawls, conversely, explores societies' moral duties and distinguishes between domestic and international justice. While Rawls's eight principles prioritize human rights, his global framework does not encompass the full scope of inequality highlighted by Pogge.
