Answer:

d. Camaraderie at work is not allowed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The book 1984 was published in 1949 by George Orwell. The story takes place in 1984, in a dystopian future where the state (known as Oceania) imposes an extremely totalitarian regime on society, through the surveillance of the Big Brother, imposed by the party (Ingsoc), where no one escapes his power. Thus, the place of the novel, Oceania, is dominated by fear and repression, for those who thought against the regime were accused of committing a crime (in the book, Crimide, or crime of idea, in the translation of novilanguage, the language of the future). In the midst of this totalitarian and oppressive environment, the account of one of the characters (Julia) shows that superfluous and unimportant things were forbidden in Oceania such as camaraderie at work.
