Which example breaks a gender stereotype at workplace?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Giving technical leadership to a woman and care coordination to a man based on merit
Option C is correct because roles are assigned according to merit, skills and ability rather than traditional assumptions about women and men. Treating technical leadership as only men's work or care coordination as only women's work creates gender stereotypes, so A and B are restrictive. Option D is discrimination based on marital status. Exam tip: Equal opportunity means selecting a person for a role on merit, not gender.
