read this passage:
a roman man, hilarion writes to alis (his wife): \heartiest greetings. im still in alexandria. i beg you to take care of the little child, and as soon as we receive wages i will send them to you. if - good luck to you - you have a baby, if it is a boy, let it live, if it is a girl, expose it (leave it outside) the passage shows...
the role of disease in motherhood
evidence of great wealth in italy
ancient roman attitudes toward women and children
a wifes abusive attitude toward her husband

Explanation:

The passage is about a Roman man's letter to his wife, with instructions on what to do if she has a boy or a girl (let the boy live, expose the girl). This relates to how Ancient Romans viewed women and children, as the differing treatment based on gender (exposing girls) reflects their attitudes. The other options are incorrect: the passage doesn't mention disease (ruling out "The role of disease in motherhood"), doesn't show great wealth (ruling out "Evidence of great wealth in Italy"), and the wife isn't shown with an abusive attitude toward her husband (ruling out "A wife's abusive attitude toward her husband").

Answer:

C. Ancient Roman attitudes toward women and children
