Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Crenshaw's concept of intersectionality criticizes the "single axis" framework for examining discrimination because it overlooks the complex, overlapping (or intersecting) experiences of individuals who belong to multiple marginalized groups, thus erasing the unique experiences of some groups.
