Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Feminist theory provides multiple theoretical lenses for analyzing gender inequality, with each approach identifying different structural causes for female subordination.

Step 1: Radical feminism identifies patriarchy as the fundamental form of oppression, where men systematically benefit from the exploitation of women's labor and bodies. This theory emphasizes that male-dominated structures are the core source of inequality.

Step 2: Marxist feminism establishes a direct link between gender oppression and the capitalist economic system, which leverages women as unpaid labor. Consequently, they identify capitalism as the primary structural source of women's exploitation.

Step 3: Liberal feminism operates within existing legal and political frameworks to achieve gender equality. They advocate for legal reforms and systemic changes to ensure the creation of equal opportunities in education and the workplace.

Step 4: Black feminism critiques mainstream feminist theory for historically reflecting only the experiences of white, middle-class women. It argues that women's perspectives derived solely from white perspectives overlook the intersectional impacts of race and gender.

Step 5: By mapping these theories to their core ideas (A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I), the sequence aligns with option (2). $$\boxed{\text{(2) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I}}$$
