I pick A am i right!
Right.
Yes, you are correct! Option A, "The government controls the centers of economic power," is the characteristic of socialism that is designed to achieve the goal of spreading wealth evenly throughout society.
To reach this answer, you would need to understand the basic principles of socialism. In socialism, the government or state generally has control over major industries and resources instead of private individuals or corporations. This control allows the government to redistribute wealth and resources more equally among the population. So, by having the government control the centers of economic power, socialism aims to ensure a more equal distribution of wealth.
