Solution
The false statement among the options provided is "c. The characteristics of capitalism provide all with an equal opportunity for upward social mobility." This statement is false because capitalism, while it can provide opportunities for upward mobility, does not guarantee equal opportunities for all. Factors such as inheritance, education, and social connections can create disparities in opportunities.
