Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Why Afghanistan’s ‘Underground Girls’ Skirt Tradition to Live as Boys' is an interview taken by NPR of Jenny Nordberg, who wrote about bacha posh in Afghanistan. The central idea presented in the text is that by making girls dressed as boys, girls and women in Afghanistan are more oppressed and controlled.

The statement that best supports this central idea is statement from paragraph 1, "They can’t leave the house alone; they’re not educated; and they’re dressed in clothes that conceal them." By concealing the true identity of girls in childhood, the society of Afghanistan tend to control them.

Therefore, option A is correct.
