B) If men aren't helping her into carriages and she's a woman, then they must be looking at her race with rejection.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage, Sojourner talks about the stereotypes that surround the roles of men and women. She tells us that men think women are quite incapable, and they often treat them as children. They do not want women to do anything complex, and they even help them into carriages because of how "delicate" they are. However, she also tells us that as a black slave, she has had to perform hard work and that no one has treated her as a delicate being. Therefore, she concludes that men must be looking at her race with rejection, instead of treating her like they would treat a white woman.
