The correct answer is D. Do not reduce inequality.
Conflict theory suggests that public schools perpetuate social inequalities by favoring the interests of the powerful and maintaining existing class structures. Rather than reducing inequality, they can reinforce the disparities present in society, including differences in funding, resources, and opportunities based on socioeconomic status.
