A.

Generally girls are better cooks than boys.

B.

Asians are not good in sports.

C.

Generally girls have less muscle mass compared to boys.

D.

Boys and girls took part in wrestling.

Correct option is A

A gender stereotype is a stereotyped opinion or preconception about features or characteristics, or the roles that women and men hold or should possess or perform.
• A gender stereotype is damaging when it restricts women's and men's ability to develop personal abilities, pursue professional professions, and/or make life decisions.
• Harmful stereotypes, whether explicitly hostile (such as "women are irrational") or ostensibly benign (such as "women are nurturing"), perpetuate inequities.
• For example, because women are traditionally viewed as caregivers, good cooks, child care tasks etc.
• Furthermore, when gender stereotypes are combined and intersected with other prejudices, they have a disproportionately harmful influence on certain groups of women, such as women from minority or indigenous groups, women with disabilities, Women from lower castes or with lesser socioeconomic status, migratory women, and so on.
