Solution

The correct option is A Gender-based stereotype
Stereotypes are generally fixed images or ideas people have of certain things or people in their minds. Here, the boy is being bullied for wearing a pink colour shirt. The colour pink is generally is associated with girls more than boys. Quite often, a colour is linked with a particular gender and this is because of stereotypes. Therefore, the situation here can be said to be related to gender-based stereotyping.
