In Only Daughter, what does the following paragraph mainly reveal about the author’s father?

Being only a daughter for my father meant my destiny would lead me to become someone’s wife. That’s what he believed. But when I was in fifth grade and shared my plans for college with him, I was sure he understood. I remember my father saying, “Que bueno, mi’ja,that’s good.” That meant a lot to me, especially since my brothers thought the idea hilarious. What I didn’t realize was that my father thought college was good for girls—for finding a husband. After four years in college and two more in graduate school, and still no husband, my father shakes his head even now and says I wasted all that education.
a) He fears for his daughter’s safety.
b) He is afraid to stand up to his sons.
c) He wants his daughter to get married.
d) He thinks his daughter should attend college so that she can get a high-paying job.
