Solution
The correct option is C gender A lot of people are discriminated against because of their gender. There is a common stereotype that only men in the family are supposed to earn. This is why many families do not allow women in their families to work. This is a type of discrimination against both the male and female genders. This stereotype pressurises the males to work and the females to stay at home. Infact both men and women are equally capable of earning and running the household.
