Solution

The correct option is A Both [A] and [R] are correct and [R] is the explanation for [A]
The sexual division of labour is based on the ideological separation of the spheres of work and family. The former was considered the sphere of men and the latter that of women. This division was more ideological rather than empirical. The developments of capitalism and industrialisation gradually outgrew gender stereotypes. Housewives and mothers participated in the laour force and contributed to the family economy. Now, the division of labour is not solely gender-based but is much more diverse.
