The feminization of agriculture in the rural state of Soilville has now made the time spent by women in agriculture equal to that traditionally spent by men. This has also led to the parity in incomes of men and women, with women receiving the same remuneration as men. This would result in better health for women and their kids as households with both members working would be better able to meet the nutritional needs of the family.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously call into question the conclusion drawn above?
A. The planting season further increased the working hours in parity to men, with a corresponding increase in their remuneration.
B. Many women, feminists by nature, even beat men in doing harsh physical jobs like plowing the fields manually.
C. The positive effect of physical labor made women physically strong and they looked forward to other jobs, till now considered suitable only for men.
D. With adequate household savings accumulated over a period of time, men aspired to take on more remunerative jobs leaving their women folk to work in the fields.
E. Without a simultaneous distribution of domestic work, the long work days deprived women of sleep and energy for childcare.
