Solution
The correct option is A A woman carries out all the household work. The sexual division of labour is a system in which all the work inside the home is done by the women of the family. Or, it is done by domestic helpers who are supervised by the women of the house. The man of the house goes out and earns for the family. This division isn’t based on biology but rather on social stereotypes that are considered natural and unchangeable.
