Solution

The correct option is B Y was not familiar with the reservation system.
Women’s participation is encouraged by providing reservations in the local governing bodies and government jobs. This reservation ranges from 33% to 50% in different parts of India. People are not familiar with the policies. In the question, Y missed the opportunity because she was not aware of such a system. The government should take steps to make people aware of such systems.
