The correct answer is - D. Women in underdeveloped nations may be impoverished and may have less access to education.

In general, women in the underdeveloped nations do not enjoy the same rights as men, and very often their lives are organized by the male authority figure. They usually are either not educated at all, or have a very basic education, are married very young, usually in their mid-teenage years, and have the role of being housewives, which means they are supposed to take care of the house and ''produce'' more children and take care of them.
