Homework Answers
Option B
In a Lorenz curve, the 45 degree middle line represents the perfect equality of distribution of wealth or income. Farther the Lorenz curve from the middle 45 degree line more would be inequality of distribution of wealth.
Hence, Surf Island represents more equality in distribution of wealth as it is closer to 45 degree line.
