Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In older civilizations, works regarded as larger and requiring more strength and reasoning were reserved for men. In contrast, jobs considered smaller and requiring less intellectual effort were considered feminine jobs. Stone carving was a work that required strength, intelligence and talent. Although women were perfectly capable of making a stone sculpture, this work was reserved for men, since they believed that only men would have the strength and intellectual balance for this activity.
