Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Rhonda, being a fan of Engels, likely believes that the transition from capitalism to communism would address the issues of gender conflict and social inequality within the traditional nuclear family. Engels argued that the capitalist system, with its emphasis on private property, perpetuates these inequalities, and that communism would eliminate the economic foundations of these social issues.
