When students plan to do a role play in a class, Sunaina refused to play the role of 'Bhimrao Ambedkar' in the Republic Day programme organized in her school, saying that she is a girl, so she will wear a girl's dress and play the role of a girl or woman only. The reason for her behaviour reflects
Answer: D
Her behaviour reflects gender stereotyping.
Sunaina refuses a role only because it belongs to a man. She has absorbed the fixed belief that girls must dress and act only as girls or women, which is a gender stereotype: a fixed idea about what each gender can or should do.
It is not gender discrimination, because nobody is treating her unfairly or denying her an opportunity; she is limiting herself. It is not gender equality, which would let anyone play any role. And it has nothing to do with caste discrimination, since her reason concerns gender, not Ambedkar's caste.
