How should spending on a daughter’s education be viewed in this scheme?

Correct answer: As an investment in the future

Answer: A, as an investment in the future. Education develops knowledge, skills, confidence, decision-making ability, and opportunities for a girl. Therefore, money spent on her education should not be treated as waste. It can benefit the girl directly and can also contribute to the well-being of her family and society. Calling education discrimination is incorrect when the purpose is to provide girls equal opportunity; discrimination would mean denying or limiting education unfairly. Spending only for display would mean there is no genuine educational purpose, which is not what the scheme promotes. Option A best expresses the long-term value of education. Option B uses a negative label and ignores the benefits of learning. Option C confuses support for equality with discrimination. Option D reduces a meaningful investment to showmanship. Memory cue: education is not a burden to hide; it is a capability-building investment for the future.
