Answer:

C. It would remove gender-specific privileges women enjoyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phyllis Schlafly' was a conservative activists who were known for her efforts to stop Equal rights amendment from being implemented.

In her arguments, she mentioned that there are two gender-specific privileges for women that will be alleviated by the Equal rights amendment:

- "dependent wife" benefits under Social Security

This granted non-working housewife to receive similar insurance benefits from the working husband and required to only pay half the price for it.

- exemption from Selective Service

This prevent women from being drafted into military's during the war. Equal rights amendment will abolish this exemption.
