What is the social message of paternity leave at workplace?

Correct answer: Father's care role is also important

The direct answer is A: Father's care role is also important. Paternity leave gives a father time to care for a newborn or family member. The idea begins with a simple principle: caring for children is necessary work, and it should not automatically be placed only on mothers. Step by step, leave allows the father to stay with the family; his participation shares practical and emotional duties; the mother gets support; and the workplace recognises that men also have family responsibilities. Option A is correct because it expresses shared care and gender equality. Option B is wrong because care is not only a mother's duty. Option C is wrong because childcare requires time, effort and responsibility, so it is meaningful work even when unpaid. Option D is wrong because men need not remain away from their families. Memory cue: paternity leave means father plus care, not father away from care.
