Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to the question, Canada's rank in the World Economic Forum's 2012 report on global gender equality needs to be identified. The options provided are: A) 5th, B) 21st, C) 36th, and D) 51st. Out of these options, the best choice is B, i.e., 21st. This is because the question does not provide any information that suggests Canada's rank was among the top 5 or top 36 countries. Moreover, being ranked 51st would mean that Canada was among the worst-performing countries in terms of gender equality, which is unlikely. Therefore, the most reasonable choice is 21st.
