D. The tendency for women in the workplace to use consensus-building as the best problem-solving approach is a consequence of females being told that it's important to "be a good girl" while growing up.

Explanation:

The theory of social construction-ism states that people create the knowledge of the world around them in a social context. It means that they perceive reality as shaped by the interactions with others. A social construction-ism critique of gender means the perceived notion of gender roles by interacting with others. In option D "the good girl" impression reflects the social recognition on the gender basis and therefore, it is the best answer.
