The chapter's main critique of leaving social-justice goals entirely to free markets is that:

AMarkets always violate the principle of treating equals equally
BMarkets cannot ever provide a wider variety of consumer choices
CMarkets are biased against caste, religion and gender of buyers
DMarkets often work in favour of those who are already privileged
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Markets often work in favour of those who are already privileged
§4.4 says free markets tend to favour the already-privileged and stay away from unprofitable regions, denying rather than extending opportunity for the poor. The other claims are not the chapter's argument.
