Explanation:

Meret Oppenheim's Fur Gloves with Wooden Fingers is a Surrealist work that critiques traditional gender roles. The juxtaposition of fur (often associated with femininity and luxury) and wooden fingers (implying rigidity or domestic labor) challenges the notion of femininity tied to domesticity. Option A is about tech progress, not related. Option B focuses on decorative arts conformity, not the work’s theme. Option D is about commercialization, which is not the critique here. Option C aligns with the work’s exploration of gendered domesticity and femininity.

Answer:

C. the notion of femininity and domesticity
