The correct answer is D) Betty Friedan.

Betty Friedan developed a critique of women's role as a "domestic goddess" in The Feminine Mystique.

Betty Friedan wrote the book "The Feminine Mystique" in 1963. In the book, Friedan critique the customs that women followed in America. It is considered a feminist book. She did interviews with women of her generation, went to the suburbs to speak with other housewives and found that they were dissatisfied with their roles. She also researched advertising that used the image of the woman at home. In the beginning, she just wanted to write an article but she found so much information that ended up writing a book.
