Answer
B
Explanation
acestan (1979) did not propose the gender segregation theory. The gender segregation theory actually postulates the overrepresentation of one gender in certain occupations. It includes horizontal segregation where women and men are allocated to different tasks at the same professional level. Vertical segregation, also known as the “glass ceiling effect", refers to the under-representation of one gender at top-level positions. but this was not proposed by Hakim.
