B. People find it disturbing to see a person out for a night stroll.

C. Society is so technologically advanced that police cars are

unmanned.

D. People enjoy watching television.

The correct answer is C)

Explanation:

A dystopian state is one with a society that is undesirable or frightening. It may also be characterised by misery, squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding.

Besides walking for ten years night and day, for thousands of miles without meeting another person, the other element that strongly suggests that the city is dystopian is the fact that the city does not need police and the only police unit in a city of 3 million is a robotic police car.

According to the story, the need for policing had disappeared given that people loved to watch television at night.
