Answer:

C. They were not seen as full citizens and had very few rights.

A colonial woman was expected to be obedient to her father until she was attached to a relationship (marriage), at which point she became compliant to her husband. ... However, women continued to have very few rights. They were prohibited and could not vote and lost most control of their property (if they had any to begin with) in marriage.
