Correct answer: (A) Post-Structuralism — The third wave of feminism reflected the influence of post-structuralism.
Explanation
★The third wave of feminism reflected the influence of post-structuralism.
★Emerging in the 1990s, it drew on post-structuralist ideas to question fixed categories of gender and identity.
★Judith Butler was central here, challenging the binary view of gender and treating gender as performative.
★The third wave embraced diversity and the intersection of race, class and sexuality, moving beyond the universalist story of earlier waves.
★It rejected fixed identities in favour of fluid ones, closely aligned with post-structuralist thought.
★So post-structuralism is the correct answer.
