Explanation:

Sotomayor, in her reflections, often critiques the idea that a wise man and wise woman (or old man/old woman) will reach the same conclusion, as she emphasizes the role of different experiences (like her Latina identity) in judicial decision - making. So she refers to this saying to explain why she disagrees with it. The option “to explain why she agrees with it” is wrong as her stance is one of disagreement. “To explore exactly who said it and why” is not the main reason for her reference, and “to explore discrimination against older judges” is not related to her purpose of referencing this saying.

Answer:

B. to explain why she disagrees with it
