AReligious laws
BPrescribed social roles ✓ Correct
CBiology and prescribed social roles
DBiology
Answer: B
Explanation
★Feminists argue that women's values are based primarily on prescribed social roles.
★On this view it is society, not nature, that shapes what women are taken to value and how they are expected to behave.
★Gender roles are learned through upbringing, culture and social expectation rather than being fixed by biology.
★This is why feminists treat social discrimination and inequality, not biology, as the real roots of women's subordination.
★Options resting on biology or religious law miss this central feminist claim about social construction.
★So prescribed social roles is the correct answer.
