The correct answer is B. The Father.

Step-by-step explanation

A patriarchal society is a form of social organization in which the authority is in the hands of a man or a group consisting only of male individuals, referencing the image of the father in the family. This form of organization is traditional of civilizations, empires, kingdoms, and ancient cities and religions, especially the Christian one. however, over the years, specifically in the decade of the seventies, different women have taken the leadership of the feminist movement to counteract this form of organization and demand equal conditions in all fields, family, school, work, social, among others. So, the correct answer is B. The father.
