Agency reflects in ................... .
Answer: A
Agency is reflected in a student challenging caste based discrimination in university.
In sociology, agency is the capacity of people to act purposively and make choices that can resist or change the social structures constraining them. A student who confronts caste discrimination is acting knowingly against an entrenched structure of inequality, which is the clearest case of agency in the list.
A daughter demanding dowry and a mother-in-law exercising power over her daughter-in-law both act within, and reproduce, patriarchal family structures rather than challenging them. A youth stealing money for drugs is an example of deviance driven by addiction, not of purposive action against a social structure, so it does not illustrate agency in the sense the question intends.
