• D. Thirty-three per cent of seats in local self governments are reserved for women.

Answer 1

The correct option is B A small percentage of girls only enroll for higher studies

Marriageable age are declared for the betterment of both girls and boys .
This is declared by 61st amendment act of indian constitution.

33% seats in local self governments are reserved for women so that participation of women can be increased in adminstration that later leads to to equality on basis of sex.

But small percentage of girls enroll for higher studies shows that still people feel that girls should not be highly educated. They should do their house hold tasks.
