Solution

The correct option is D Burden
'Handicap' means a circumstance that makes progress or success difficult.
"not being able to drive was something of a handicap"
In this context, "The writer states that not being born black but being born a female was a handicap she faced", 'handicap' means a burden, barrier, obstacle. Hence, option D is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
