Answer:

c. observation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom believes that it is his wife´s role to do the laundry and cook the meals because by observation that is what he saw his mom do all throughout his life, so that´s what he knows, so he wants to continue with what he observed, that is why Tom´s expectations about gender roles in the household were shaped by observation.
