The question is asking which type of art was considered “women’s work” rather than a craft until recent history?. The answer is that it was c. embroidery. Women, mostly those of higher social standing, were spending a lot of time with other women doing embroidery, and this even applied to some queens, for example Maria Theresia of Austria, although the empress also participated in embroidery (she did a bit and the rest was filled in by her servants)
