Karla Salinas · Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The report shows that women didn't need their husbands at all, so this study examined the work-family problem presented.

Their family role had to be clearly identified by having a different behavior as wives and allowing the man to perform the male role of being the provider as historically has been.
