• B. social backwardness
• C. both (a) and (b)
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both (a) and (b)

Less employment of females in comparison to males is an indication of both economic and social backwardness. Employment makes women economically independent. This enhances their ability as decision makers in all walks of life. Once the women are independent decision-makers, they can always strive for gender-equality and improve their social conditions.
