According to critics of utilitarian or consequentialist theory,in these theories ______.

A) the interests of friends and family may be given extra weight in decision-making
B) children and the poor are entitled to special treatment
C) every person is ranked equally
D) the actor is entitled to give him/herself extra weight in decision-making

DCritics of utilitarian or consequentialist theories argue that these frameworks do not allow for partiality towards one's own interests or those of friends and family. Instead, they emphasize that every person's interests should be considered equally (C), which means that giving extra weight to oneself (D) contradicts the impartiality principle inherent in these theories. Choices A and B suggest preferential treatment for certain groups, which is not a critique commonly associated with utilitarianism or consequentialism, as these theories inherently aim for an impartial consideration of all affected by a decision.
