Solution

The correct option is B fettered - responsibilities
The word 'fettered', which means restricted; confined, best fits the context of the first blank whereas 'responsibilities' which refers to one's duty or role befits the context of the second blank. Thus C is the answer - it befits the context and conveys the required meaning.
The Victorian middle-class woman was fettered by restraints, obligations and responsibilities that prevented her from achieving economic independence.
None of the other options befit the context.
