Correct option is D

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler is a seminal work of feminist and queer theory that draws heavily on the work of Michel Foucault. Butler argues that gender is not a natural or biological category, but rather is a social construct that is performed and reproduced through language and other cultural practices. Epistemology of the Closet by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is a major work of queer theory that also draws heavily on Foucault's work. Sedgwick examines the ways in which homosexuality has been constructed and regulated throughout history.
The other options are not directly rooted in Foucault's thoughts on sexuality:
• Meta-history by Hayden White is a work of historical theory that explores the relationship between history and literature.
• The Role of the Reader by Umberto Eco is a work of literary criticism that explores the role of the reader in the interpretation of texts.
• Sexual Politics by Kate Millett is a work of feminist theory that examines the role of sexuality in society.
Michel Foucault was a French philosopher and historian who is best known for his work on the history of sexuality, power, and knowledge. Foucault's work has had a major impact on a wide range of fields, including philosophy, history, literature, and cultural studies.
