Answer 1

Answer: a. "Women could not own property of their own."

Step-by-step explanation:

Property is a very important asset to own. This was true in the past and is true today. Property enables one to gain access to leverage which can then be used ( sometimes along with the land) to invest in business opportunities.

With women bring unable to own property of their own, they couldn't engage in certain business opportunities which meant that they had to rely on men to provide for them as society did not enable them to do so for themselves.
