BTolerance toward views with which one disagrees
CA welfare state and measures to reduce inequality
DA free market with minimal state intervention
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A welfare state and measures to reduce inequality

However, present day liberalism acknowledges a role for welfare state and accepts the need for measures to reduce both social and economic inequalities.' The other options are core to BOTH classical and modern liberalism.
