Answer:

c. Women are naturally more capable of performing housework and care work, and they enter those occupations in which they are naturally more talented.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender is a socially and culturally created identity of the sexes. Gendered division of labor means that the work is allocated on the basis of the gender of an individual. The traditional roles of gender in which the role of a woman is confined to household chore and with passing time it restricted women's economically and socially. It promoted gender inequality as a certain kind of work is expected from a person not on the basis of merit but sex. It expected different societal and cultural roles of men and women.
