Answer 1

The correct option is B Gender discrimination

Women in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to drive. This is an example of gender discrimination. The women in Saudi Arabia had to employ male drivers to move around. They also were not allowed to travel without the permission of a male guardian. On September 26, 2017, King Salman issued a statement that Saudi Arabia would be lifting its ban on women drivers. Driving licenses for women were to be issued from June 2018.
