Answer 1

Answer:

b. Buying Sarah a toy kitchen to play with

Explanation:

We call the gender role the set of culturally naturalized stereotypes and social practices to the male and / or female figure. Throughout history, various societies have created their own gender roles, and generally any change in these relationships faces great social resistance. In other words, it is society that determines what are the behaviors and actions that men and women must submit to and thus create gender roles. An example of this happens when Sarah's parents buy her a rickshaw kitchen so she can learn early on that there is a gender role that requires women to be responsible for cooking.
