Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Benevolent.

Explanation:

Benevolent sexism is characterized by promoting the dependent role and weakness of women, there is a romantic and idealized image that justifies protectionism on the part of man, which should act as a guide. Not only does it mean maintaining the traditional relations of the patriarchal structure but also the idea that the man is the strong, the powerful and the intelligent, and that the woman lacks these characteristics.
