Answer:

B. Many Hollywood actresses got their starts from winning beauty beauty pageants.

Explanation:

The thesis of the passage displays how beauty pageants are harmful to women as it defines the success of a woman with how beautiful and charming you are. These contests have often been an object of criticism as it advocates Narcissism as it employs so much obsession with the physical beauty to form relations in the industry that pushes them to sexuality. The idea that refutes this point is that many Hollywood actresses began their careers with these pageants and are leading a successful and happy life today. Thus, this point negates the idea of these pageants being harmful. The others are either not supporting the thesis or seem less relevant to the context of the question.
