A surplus of goods, like a more reliable food supply, allows for the development of more pronounced inequality in a society. This helps explain why the transition to a(n) agrarian society introduced much more inequality than the primary type of society that preceded

Explanation:

The agrarian introduced much more inequality because of the few owners that control the lands and the workers. Before agrarian society people would hunt and gathered but there was no owners that would control lands and the amount of money to pay to the workers.

Option D ==> agrarian.

Explanation:

During the pre- industrial society we have the agrarian society that is to say a society that depends on the cultivation of crops and the rearing of animals. In other words, agrarian society depends on agriculture. In this society their is surplus of food than the type of society that preceded it which is the Hunter-gatherer society.

In an agrarian society there is inequality in a way that some people in the society are known as the producers that is the farmers and those that owns the land used for farming. There is a need for the farmers to pay for the use of the land through cash or kind or both.

This is not the case in the Hunter-gatherer society since people take what they can get and there is no surplus.
