Which of the following statements challenges gender stereotypes?

  1. A.Women are very emotional.
  2. B.Women are fashion conscious.
  3. C.Women are responsible bus drivers.✓ Correct
  4. 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.
