Solution

The correct option is A Indulgent
The author talks about the critics being generous towards women writers and gave considerations based on their sex. Look at the line “Victorian critics were virtually obsessed with finding the place of the woman writer so as to judge her appropriately”. From this we can conclude that the criticism was indulgent. The passage does not suggest that the criticism was perfunctory (superficial) or apolitical.
