Which of the following statements challenges gender stereotypes?
A.Women are very emotional.
B.Women are fashion conscious.
C.Women are responsible bus drivers.✓ Correct
D.Women are nurturing.
Explanation
Gender stereotypes are oversimplified beliefs about characteristics of men and women. The traditional stereotype portrays bus driving (especially heavy vehicle driving) as a male domain. Saying 'women are responsible bus drivers' challenges this stereotype by showing women in a non-traditional role. The other statements (women are emotional, fashion conscious, nurturing) reinforce traditional gender stereotypes. Hence option (3) challenges gender stereotypes.
