Answer 2

The correct answer to this question would be alternative A)"Married women obeyed their husbands and stayed at home to raise their children."

In the 1800s, women had fewer rights. They weren't allowed to vote, they didn't have the same access to education that men did, and their role was strictly domestic. Women were supposed to obey their husbands, and stay home seeing to domestic tasks as well as taking care of the children.
