Explanation:

Question 16 (Principle of Distributive Justice in Job)

In the Book of Job, the principle of distributive justice (the idea that people get what they deserve) is challenged. But the traditional view tested here is the initial assumption that "people get what they deserve, good or bad" (the other options either state people are naturally good/bad or don't get what they deserve, which doesn't align with the distributive justice principle as a tested idea in Job).

Psalms of grief/lament and memories of personal history comfort by focusing on God's personal nature. "Yahweh is a personal god who shows goodness to individuals" fits—these psalms show God's care for individuals' personal lives (not just national history, not that He was active then stopped, or only offended by actions).

Answer:

A. People get what they deserve, good or bad
