Answer: B
The move is important because it aims to eliminate gender stereotyping.
Stories showing a father doing household work and a mother on an adventure break the usual pattern in which only women do housework and only men take risks. Children learn gender expectations partly from the material they read, so curriculum that shows people in non-traditional roles helps them see that abilities and tasks are not fixed by sex.
Such stories weaken gender bias and discrimination rather than strengthening or increasing them. Gender constancy, Kohlberg's term for a young child's understanding that one's sex stays the same over time, is a normal developmental milestone and not what the curriculum change is about.
