please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Analyze the options in the context of US gender inequality

• Option A is incorrect because women have had the same legal voting rights as men since the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
• Option B is correct because the gender wage gap is a well-documented, persistent sign of economic gender inequality in the United States, where women on average earn less than men for performing similar work.
• Option C is incorrect because women currently earn the majority of college degrees in the United States, meaning college admission rates do not represent a barrier where women do not receive admission as much as men.
• Option D is subjective and less measurable as a systemic, institutionalized sign of inequality compared to the documented economic wage gap.

Answer:

• A. enjoy the same voting rights as men
