AWomen have standard features on which they can be judged ✓ Correct

BBeautiful women have a vision and role in social upliftment

CThey symbolize eternal freedom for women

DThey provide a platform for beautiful women of the world to come together

Correct answer: (A) Women have standard features on which they can be judged

Explanation

The claimed justification is that women possess standard features by which they can be judged.

Any contest presupposes a common, measurable standard for ranking entrants.

A beauty contest thus assumes fixed criteria of beauty applying to all contestants.

Judging then means scoring each against these shared standard features.

This presumed common yardstick is the stated essence of such contests.
