Solution

The correct option is A Yes, Rani is treated unfairly.
If Ramesh got the job because of his gender alone, then it can be considered social inequality. No individual can control their gender and so, gender cannot be used as a criterion for selection. Some other fair factor should be used for selecting the candidates.
