What does 'objectification theory' say ?
Answer: C
The key gives option C: women understand their bodies from the perspective of an outsider.
The passage says objectification theory 'posits that girls and women are typically acculturated to internalise an observer's perspective as a primary view of their physical selves'. An observer looking at a body from outside is an outsider, so women learn to see their own bodies from that outside viewpoint.
Option A, that women are cultured, drops the point about the observer; the passage says acculturated, which is about learning a viewpoint. Option B has women holding an observer's understanding of the world at large, whereas the passage limits it to their view of their own bodies. Option D says they internalise their physical selves, but what they internalise is the observer's perspective.
