Answer:

A. Because of the inconveniences of life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of "A Room of One's Own", Virginia Woolf focuses on the position of a woman writer. Being a woman herself, in a patriarchal society, her works mostly deal with issues that prevent a woman artist from ever getting the same equality and freedom as the males.

Woolf insists that even though society may not admit and even accept it, women are incapable of doing anything the men are at liberty to do. Mostly because of the perception that women belong inside the house and leave the money earning and working jobs to the men, women with equal, if not more intellect, to the men, had to resort to using pen names if they were to produce literary works. And in that sense, she also insists that many great literary works often go unwritten because of the inconveniences of life that befall women.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
