Stopping girls from technical training is an example of what?

Correct answer: Gender bias

The direct answer is A: gender bias. Gender bias means judging, limiting or excluding a person because of being male or female rather than considering ability, interest and effort. Technical training can teach useful knowledge and employment skills, so girls should not be stopped from it merely because they are girls. The reasoning is: technical learning is a form of education and skill development; both genders can learn skills; stopping only girls applies an unequal rule based on gender; therefore it is gender bias. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because age-appropriate education concerns whether learning suits a learner’s age and development, not whether the learner is a girl. Option C is wrong because stopping girls prevents equal skill development instead of providing it. Option D is wrong because work simplification means making a task easier or more efficient, not excluding a group from training. The practical lesson is that educational and career choices should depend on interest, ability and fair opportunity. The memory cue is “a gender-based restriction is gender bias.”
