Answer:

A). Okonkwo thinks his daughter Ezinma should have been a boy because she is strong and violent.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe is one of the most acknowledged African novels that primarily aims to reclaim the African culture and critique the colonialism and its dark side.

As per the question, the conclusion that can be drawn regarding Okonkwo is that 'he thinks that his daughter Ezinma should have been born a boy as she possesses a bolder attitude and strong and violent character.' She owns the masculine characteristics like brazenness and confidence in her behavior which makes her fit in the traditional role like her father. She sits like boys and does not fear to take on their tasks too. Due to these characteristics, Okonkwo thinks she should have been a boy. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
