Answer:C. When girls wear dresses they are limited in the physical activities in which they can participate.

Explanation:

There is a gender restriction when girls are wearing dresses because if they could get involved into certain activities that will mean they will expose their body private parts.

For example they can not do wall climbing in dresses, they can not play some games wearing dresses because the movement will restrict their movement.

So wearing dresses tend to be restrictive on what girls can or can not do.
