If selection is done on the basis of birth, education, family name, business connections and inherited wealth, then it would be

  • A.selection of the privileged
  • B.selection of the able
  • C.selection of the meritorious
  • D.selection of the fortunate

Answer: A

Selection on those grounds would be selection of the privileged.

The writer lists birth, education, family name, business connections and inherited wealth as the advantages that would win the race if men were treated unequally in the first two respects, and says that such a selection would not be a selection of the able. It would be the selection of the privileged.

'Selection of the able' is the very thing the passage says would not happen, and 'meritorious' means the same as able. 'Fortunate' is not the word the writer uses, and the passage speaks of advantages that are inherited rather than of luck.
