clear all

Explanation:

During the Middle Ages, women's roles were largely domestic and labor - focused. Suffrage rights were not a concept then, the church had male - dominated high positions, and noblewomen could inherit estates in some cases. So the statement "Roles were confined to labor and caring for the family" is accurate.

Answer:

C. Roles were confined to labor and caring for the family.
