Hernandez Toussaint · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Studies and reports have consistently shown that women in traditionally male-dominated fields, such as construction, often face a wage gap, earning lower salaries than their male counterparts. Similarly, in academic settings, female researchers frequently encounter biases that can result in lower evaluations of their quality as researchers compared to male applicants.
