b. acceptably fosters inequality through the emergence of private property.

Explanation:

The human societies have been diversified on the basis of the religion, cast, creed and ethnicity. But the another way to diversify the human society is to compare individuals on the basis of their wealth and possessions.

According to the given situation, the enlightenment thinkers are encouraging the individuals to preserving the assets will help to build up the society. This is likely to develop inequality between the people of the society. This will create discrimination among people on the basis of wealth.

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
