Answer
A
Explanation
Intersectionality is indeed an analytical framework initially introduced by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. It refers to the interconnected nature of social categorization such as race, class, and gender, that has been purported to exert overlapping and independent disadvantages. It does give consideration to different aspects of a person's identity and also accounts for discrimination and prejudice originating from complex, combinative effects of varying aspects of that identity. Thus, it is an important mandate for understanding disparities and tackling forms of discrimination. To categorize the chosen answer as B. False, is hence, in disagreement with the definition and implication of Intersectionality.
