C. Wealth is UNEVENLY distributed among the population.

Most Latin American countries have high levels of income and wealth inequality (large gaps between a small wealthy elite and a large poor/working-class population). Options A and D are generally not true for the region as a whole (many economies face barriers to entrepreneurship and rely more on raw-material/commodity exports than manufactured goods), and B is not universally true.
