If a man is stopped from entering anganwadi or nursery work what is this an example of?

Correct answer: Gender stereotype in care professions

The direct answer is B: stopping a man from entering anganwadi or nursery work is a gender stereotype in care professions. The reasoning is: anganwadi and nursery jobs involve care, teaching and child development; someone is excluded merely because he is male; the assumption that care work belongs only to women is therefore being applied. B is correct. A is wrong because the situation gives no age-based reason and does not concern age suitability. C is wrong because work safety concerns risks and protection, not a gender-based ban. D is wrong because production planning is about organizing goods, time or resources, not choosing workers by gender. Men and women can both perform care work when they have the required training, interest and ability. Memory cue: “care is for people, not one gender.”
