Which of the following advertisements is not an example of gender stereotype?
A.A girl playing football in an advertisement for a sports shoe.✓ Correct
B.A mother making tea in an advertisement for a tea brand.
C.A woman doing makeup in an advertisement for a lipstick.
D.A woman being dropped by her husband to office in an advertisement for a car.
Explanation
A gender stereotype is a generalised belief about roles, behaviours or activities that men or women 'should' perform. Showing a girl playing football breaks the traditional stereotype that sports (especially football) are for boys, hence it is not a stereotype. The other advertisements reinforce conventional gender roles (mothers cooking, women focused on makeup, husband driving wife).
