the chart could be used as evidence that

man over 60 or under 8 | 15,000 denarii
female of age above - specified | 10,000 denarii

work outside the home was valued more.
work inside the home was more valued than work outside the home.
only domestic work was valued.
servants in the home did not go outside.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the slave prices by gender/age. Male slaves (16 - 40, likely for outside work) cost 30,000 denarii, higher than female or older males. This suggests work outside (done by prime - age males) was valued more. The second option is wrong as outside work is more valued. The third is wrong as outside work (e.g., male slaves’ work) is valued. The fourth is irrelevant as the chart is about prices, not movement.

Answer:

A. Work outside the home was valued more.
