The correct answer is C) People might feel less inclined to work.

The problem regarding this is that the people know that they will get their ration no matter how much they work, or how little they work. If one person works a lot and another person slacks off, then the person who works a lot will not feel motivated since they would see how the slacker receives the same thing in the same amount so they would be inclined to work less.
